uninstall software using a custom task sequence
I have a custom task sequence to uninstall a piece of software. I'm using run command line msiexec /x{uninstall key} /qn. I have to if statements. One to check OS version and one to see if the uninstall key exists in the registry. The software uninstalls fine for XP. Windows 7 x64 the software is not uninstalling, but the status shows succeeded. I think it's because of admin rights. How do I get the software to remove for Windows 7? MLStev01

Hi, For Windows 7 x64 it is a bit more complex as the Task Sequence will be executed in 32-bit context, is it a 32-bit application you want to uninstall? Are the conditions evaulated to be true if you check the SMSTS-log file? Regards, Jörgen -- visit my System center blog at http://ccmexec.com --

Hi MLStev01, What about to disable 64-bit file system redirection?

A task sequence seems overkill to do what you want, simply create a SCCM package and deploy it to the targeted systems. You can use a query/collection to target the systems you want to remove the software from. Louis
