Does the uninstall happen unattended/silenty on the client when you run the command manually (so outside of ConfigMgr)?

Hi,

No it's not, actually i converted exe to msi using converter & MSI is also not able to uninstall silently on a standalone machine....

You'll need to focus on getting that working first then. Make sure it can uninstall properly in an unattended way.

ConfigMgr doesn't magically fix those kind of issues for you. ;-)

Just to add to this (spot on comment by Tim), ConfigMgr can only run the command-line that you give it -- what that command-line actually does is beyond the control of ConfigMgr.

From what I understand, there is no uninstaller for uTorrent, you can remove the exe (which gets installed at %ProgramFiles%\uTorrent and/or %appdata%\utorrent). However, users can place the exe anywhere and it will run.

From a reporting perspective, i suggest you look at software inventory and look at "Original file name", uTorrent.exe also runs if you rename the file.

good luck

Hi,

I created one batch file & create the package with no program for the same & deployed. It's successfully uninstall uTorrent application from client machines:

@echo off

REM Uninstall existing uTorrent Version
if exist "%Program Files%\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe" "%Program Files%\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe" /UNINSTALL /S
if exist "%Program Files (x86)%\uTorrent\\uTorrent.exe" "Program Files (x86)%\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe" /UNINSTALL /S
if exist "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe" "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent\uTorrent.exe /UNINSTALL /S

SET ERRORCODE=0
