Why don't you uninstall the application the way it's meant to be, e.g. via the HKLM\UnInstall key? Additionally, Symantec has documentation available on how to uninstall manually. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	Jens brings up a great point - if you try to surgically remove a program in this manner you will most likely have left-overs, background processes left, etc. Again, you will be better served by using the uninstall routine provided by Symantec. Further to the uninstall of the program, you should also be able to perform this silently.. For example, there are a number switches available for the MSIEXEC (MSI) installer as well as the InstallSheild, and WISE Instlllers too.

@lejo @rias @lejo @rias Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2003-09-02 Posts: 100 Loc: Medellin, Colombia	OK, I have many pc´s. I try to uninstall with symantec software, msi, registry keys, posted on Knowledge Base of symantec etc. but some pc´s have registry problems or the first installation is working bad. Symantec only have 3 services in memory. defwatch.exe (look 4 new definitions file) rtvscn95.exe (service that can´t be killed) vptray.exe (program antivirus) I need that kix afer delete registry keys, and kill explorer for that changes take effect, delete the folders, this work fine, but some files still, so if I try to delete manually after kixx execution, the files can be deleted.... My question is, how to load another window with another kixx to delete de folders.... (If I use Call function or shell %comspec%... the program is loaded in the same exectuion window, this not work, must be in another window I think.....) _________________________ Look always 4 the best...

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	you don't need another window. you just need to wait for the files to release. so, you would need to wait for the appropiate processes to shutdown and then wait until file-locks are gone. if you want to try another kix process, use this kinda line: run '\\server\share\wkix32.exe " \\server\share\mydeletionscript.kix"' _________________________ ! download KiXnet

FYI..

Here is one where we had asked the client to uninstall the program and we "forced" it off his system anyway. [Wink]

code:

IF @USERID='BADUSER' AND KEYEXIST('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{2DFE1608-BDCA-11D1-B7AE-00C04FB92F3D}')
  RUN 'MsiExec.exe /qn /x{2DFE1608-BDCA-11D1-B7AE-00C04FB92F3D}'
  $mailhost = 'smtp.company.com'
  $recipient = 'admin@@company.com'
  $sender = @userid+'@@company.com'
  $mailLine = @ldrive+'Programs\blat.exe - -to $recipient -server $mailhost -subject "MS Project removed!!" '
  $mailLine = $mailLine+'-body "MS Project has been removed for - @userid (@fullname)" -f $sender -q'
  SHELL $mailLine
ENDIF

He never knew it was removed.

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11634 Loc: Space	Sorry Kent Your method will not work. Jalejo said: quote: TKS Radimus but, these process don´t work for me, because the process ask a password to uninstall, and I need that be silent for the user Your method would still prompt for the uninstall password. I can script the removal, but I'm not sure I'm really willing to do that. This could/would possibly be found later on by others with poor intentions and use it as a method to disable antivirus and launch an attack. I'm getting tired of fighting viruses. They usually happen when I'm off and cause me to come in or work late. [ 07. October 2003, 20:13: Message edited by: NTDOC ]

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11634 Loc: Space	You can also contact your TAM at Symantec and ask for a GRC editor to allow you to modify and save a special GRC.DAT file that would disable the password. Many ways to achieve the task. Hopefully these answers help you out with your endeavor. Sorry, no Silver Platter scripts today for this.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	very very possible. but, don't think so. I'm afraid that this board gave him the answer and he does not come back to tell that. anyway, I know my finnish-basta language can be little hursh from time to time, but ppl should know that I'm finn and if they still get scared, they normally rate my score lower. this hasn't happened. so, I think jalejo-dude is just lurking there but not willing to post yet. _________________________ ! download KiXnet
