Re: Uninstalling a application via a startup/shutdown script

Okay I made some progess on this.

SPSS 12 uses some version of InstallShield which requires a user to be log
into the machine at the time of the script running.

the workaround I have is the following - group policy changes:
Put this script in the user's logout script
Windows Install - always install with elevated privileges on the user
also - should I be concern in using this?

In my test this works fine. I am just concern with setting the windows
installer at the user level.

There seems to be a lot of post on this subject but no clear answers.

Is this something that is support by Microsoft, meaning can you do this?

We have a windows 2003 domain controllers with windows XP SP2 pro
clients.
We want to uninstall an application using a startup/shutdown script.

We have the following command:
"c:\windows\system32\msiexec.exe" /x
{B3B77C66-1553-4FFE-B044-53B179FBE0B6} /q

This works when we are logged on to the machine.

But we think the problem is it cannot call up the shell in order to run
correctly.
