How to uninstall Software from Add/Remove Programs?
- Thread starter Dav136
- Start date
Hello Dav136,
You can take a look of the registry characteristic key with structure like :
[tt][HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\[blue]Uninstall[/blue]\<productname>][/tt]
with value name win9x-series :
[tt]"UninstallString"=[green]"<some commandline>[/green]"[/tt]
or winNT-series :
[tt]"UninstallPath"=[green]hex(2):aa bb cc 00 11...etc also representing <some commandline>[/green][/tt]
and <productname> part might be expanded further down some subkeys.
Hence, a possible scheme would be to Discover the UninstallString/UninstallPath setting and then .run the commandline.
