Can Uninstall Functionality Be Modified To Catch Other Instances Of Application / Also Uninstall Them?
Jun 23, 2011Have a VB.net application that installs initially from CD and then when the user gets into the internet the application updates. In order to better support problems with this application is has been suggested in the past to uninstall it and do a fresh re-install. However, in investigation it was determined that the uninstall does not consider all installed objects and does not uninstall the CD install.Can the uninstall functionality be modified to catch the other instances of this application and also uninstall them?

View 8 RepliesUninstall Program Using .NET?
Jan 25, 2012I'm looking for any references on the best way to perform an unattended uninstall of a product using VB.NET. The product was installed using Windows Installer and the product name is Dell Kace Agent. I would like to perform the uninstall within the VB.NET code.Here's a VBScript that uninstalls a product using WMIC. This could be converted to VB.NET fairly easily, but is there a better way to perform a uninstall within VB.NET code than querying WMIC? I would rather not use WMIC to perform the uninstall maybe get the uninstall string from the registry?
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _

View 1 RepliesUninstall A Program Remotely Using .net?
May 1, 2009I've taken MS 4994A (Intro to VB.net), and am studying for 4995A (Advanced Intro to VB.net)Previous experience with VB6 and C++ tells me that the way to do it would be to create a program that will accept a list of computer names and check the registry one-by-one (I'm open to suggestions, though, of course). If it finds the program we're wanting to remove, it will remove it, then automagically install .net 2.0 and the .net version of the programs that were just removed.

It is listed in control panel Services, so isn't it installed?

View 4 RepliesVurtualstore, Databases And Uninstall?
Oct 6, 2011I have an application that contains an MDB. This application has a feature that will allow the user to update the database to a newer version that is on a thumb drive.The database ispart of the application and is not user-updatable, so it seems as though it should live in the Program Files directory with all the other data files (xml, etc.)However, somehow it found its way into the Virtualstore.Now when I go through my process to update the database via the application when I try to run the application is is re-routed to the old mdb in the virtualstore.
But much worse than that, I found out that the virtualstore for the application survives a reinstall Now to my mind this is a huge bug because one would expect when one uninstalls and re-install an application that would have created a "clean slate" and everything would work correctly. But here I have an instance where the user thinks she has installed a fresh copy of the application but in fact is getting corrupted by old junk in the virtual store from a previous install.

Uninstall A Shell Context Menu Dll?
Nov 19, 2010Ive created a shell context menu dll using the great example at [url]...
This dll can be included in a vb.net setup project and installs ok but upon uninstall Windows prompts the user to close explorer.exe for the uninstall to complete. If the user clicks ok then the windows GUI is lost and the user either needs to reboot or know how to run task manager and startup another instance of explorer.exe to get their desktop back.
Does anyone know how to go about uninstalling a context menu dll which is currently in use by explorer without ending the explorer.exe process.

View 7 RepliesUninstall MDAC 2.7 And Windows Server 3
Jul 21, 2009(I found no server 2003 forums so i posted here) I have recently been tasked with moving legacy applications (written in VB 6) that have to be migrated from windows server 2K to windows 2003. My superiors tell me that we MUST use MDAC 2.7 because the VB 6 applications are very old and use office 97 (no chance for upgrade because they will break - they will be supplanted by .net applications) Also, if these legacy apps use 2.8 they will break as well.
I know that Windows Server 2003 automatically comes with MDAC 2.8 and there is no way to uninstall it (is there?). But is it possible to install MDAC 2.7 (parallel to 2.8) and force our applications to use the 2.7 version? Or do we have to stick with windows 2k if we HAVE to MDAC 2.7?
VS 2010 - Cannot Remove Components With Uninstall
Jul 15, 2010I don't know what's got into them but they decided to purchase vs2010 pro licenses in my company. Anyway i gave it a quick look and since i don't need to have it installed right now (service pack 1 first, Microsoft anti-bug law) i uninstalled it. The problem i see is that it leaves leftovers everywhere.C++ redist, ado components, sql r2 components etc. These will not be deleted if i just remove vs2010 but will be installed if i install vs2010 full.Anyway i ended up removing them one by one and it took about 30-45 minutes. So has anyone have done a removal? Is this the case? I cannot remove most of the components with one big uninstall?

View 4 RepliesAdd Printer As Part Of Install And Delete (Uninstall)
Mar 30, 2005I'm trying to add a printer as part of my install and then remove that printer as part of the uninstall, and I'm not having much luck. I can add the printer using a shell command and the "printUI.dll" but when I try to use the addprinter() from the windows API, nothing happens. When I try to delete a test printer with the deleteprinter() function, it executes fine... but doesn't actually remove the printer. Everything I've been able to find on it seems to indicate that my code is right, but obviously I'm missing something because its not working.

C# - Monitor Install/Uninstall Of Fonts On Windows?
Sep 4, 2010I'm kind of shooting in the dark here - searches don't seem to be productive on this. I want to create a .NET program to monitor the install and uninstall of fonts. If something is installed or uninstalled, I want to run a program to do something.
I thought maybe a Windows Service, but haven't gotten very far with figuring out how to monitor fonts. Is this the right way and if so, what am I overlooking? If not, is there a different way to do this?
