Re: Remove programs with a script?

Shenan Stanley:
Yes - if the application has an uninstaller.
You just have to find said uninstaller and the command line options.

Usually they are here :

start regedit (enter) and go to :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

the string is usually a command line option i.e.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
Mozilla ActiveX Control v1.7.12

UninstallString C:\Programmi\Mozilla ActiveX Control v1.7.12\uninst.exe
