Remove programs with a script?

Hello,

Is it possible to remove installed programs from XP SP2 computers with a
script? And I mean manually installed (=setup.exe) programs not any
centrally deployed or published applications.

I would need to remove old Lotus Notes installations from 40 PC's. I can of
course do it manually via Add/Remove programs but it may take a while
(40x20min=800min = a boring weekend).

I havent yet tested installing newer version on top of the old one since the
old one has a bit "funny" configuration and I would be pleased just to get
rid of it and then centrally deploy new version with MSI package.

Thanks
-Will
