I am setting up a application removal package and I am wondering what's the best method of getting a MS app off of Windows 7 machines.I can:1. create the pakage through msi definition; which has a removal string built inor 2. call on the uninstall string so msiexec.exe /x {reg}I was just going to go with the 2nd method cause I've done that with most removal's in the past without issue. This works fine with XP machines but I can't use it with the Win7. UAC asks me on Win7 if I want to allow the program to make changes... If I use method one, I assume I am going to run into the same problem. Anyone have any suggestions?

when you run msiexec /x {guid} /qn as SYSTEM, whether or not user is logged in (i.e., just like you would from ConfigMgr program), it still prompts? Standardize. Simplify. Automate.

it's not breaking out and prompting me cause I have the app hidden... but it's not proceeding so I assume that it's just waiting for someone to click yes in the background. I assume it's going to time out after 2 hours.

Back to Sherry's question though, which credentials are you using to run the command-line? When specifying use Admin credentials for a program, it will run as the local SYSTEM account which is not subject to UAC in any way. Thus, if you are running it using admin privileges, it is not a UAC issue. Have you tried running the command-line manually?Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/jsandys/default.aspx | Twitter @JasonSandys

I used the pstools to test out the package under the system context and it isn't the UAC that's the problem. There's a prompt occuring asking me if I am sure I want to uninstall. grr.... so i guess i need to play around with the strings.
