cool... good work.
A few things though.
It leaves Gator installed
you could use WMIKill() instead of PV.exe
(if that works in 3.63)
But I tell you what... I'm gonna put this in my script

Guys,
You are going to hate me.. I use Webshots regularly from home. However, when you install, just simply choose the options to not install Gator or any of the garbage. I too have run Ad-Aware and none of the Gator or related stuff appeared after installing it.
I heartedly agree it has no place in the workplace as it soaks up bandwidth.

Kent,
Where did you get your download? I downloaded directly from Webshots and I don't get any options about any other software (Gator or others).
I used this download:
http://www.webshots.com/c/combo2/
Which gives you a combo sampler pack. If it is coming with Gator, I don't think Radimus and Dave are worried about themselves installing the Gator portion, but rather their end-users. That is the reason I wrote this script to remove it, but I did not know it was installing Gator for these guys - it does not install gator for me, and I don't chose any custom options during install.

you can see in the install log above where it installed:
RegDB Key: SOFTWARE\Gator.com\Trickler\Sessions\3ADDFD2F
They may have removed that in current packages... As I recall, It was in a list of optional components (selected) so the average click monkey would install it

Thanks DOC!
I did finally get my uninstall to work under 3.63, but it's not as nice as yours.
I'll probably switch to yours when I move to version 4.
Thanks again,
Dave

I know this is ancient history, But I was just asked this an hour ago...
Code:
if keyexist('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Webshots Desktop')
$uninst=readvalue('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Webshots Desktop','UninstallString')
$uninst = JOIN(SPLIT($uninst),' /a /s')
run '&comspec% /c '+ $uninst
endif
