Hello all,

I need to come up with a command line/script to uninstall a program that can
only be removed from Add or Remove Programs.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to
websites/tutorials/walk-thru's.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide,

Conan Kelly

I believe that you can remove programs by executing the data you will find
against values called "UninstallString" in the registry. You will find them
in HKLM. They can be quite complex, e.g. UninstallString=MsiExec.exe
/I{D2DA04C5-5035-4CE1-8CA7-94FAF280E68B}. I have never tried the technique.
