uninstall applications from command line

[Guest]

I installed a Linksys wireless card management application on a Windows 2000
laptop and the bloody thing REFUSES to uninstall! Isn't there a way to force
an uninstall via command line?

You can find the uninstall command in the registry here:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Uninstall\Linksysxxx\UninstallString

I suspect you won't get much further when you execute the
command from a Command Prompt. I usually rename the
home directory of the application so that it cannot launch,
and if all goes well then I delete the renamed folder.

You should also run services.msc and check it there is a
service associated with this application.
