    hey everyone,
    been working on trying to remove a program that was installed locally to the C:\program files drive.

    so basically i want to remove a program on XP machines, i've tried batch/vbs files but none will work locally, any ideas??

    not great on scripting so excuse the ignorance!! :)

    byw...it doesnt have an msi file its an .exe file

    Try running the exe you want to remove in a command prompt with /? and see if it has a silent uninstall option?

    eg program.exe /? then return

    that just opens the application..and logs in

    Grand so no silent uninstall

    Is there any uninst.exe in the folder?

    ok, got it working locally on the pc with the below, but my question is, i used the regedit key to find the location, would this be the same in all pc's on the domain or just that pc...?


    msiexec /x "{A91E3887-5185-4091-AF33-B0048444055}" /m /qb /norestart


    to answer your question there's no uninstall file
