    1. How about those products whose names in the registry are not direct names to search. How about names like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{786C4AD1-DCBA-49A6-B0EF-B317A344BD66}

    Wow. Cool. I've been wanting to uninstall from command line for so long!
    How about quiet uninstall without typing y every time?
    Is it possible?

    Hi there,

    I was wondering if you could help, my pc wont boot up because of a app. called ready driver plus, i have tried every option i can think of and thats quite a few, like for e.g repair using installation disc, system restore using disc i've even tried using bootrec.exe in the command prompt when using the command prompt fro the reapair option on the installation disc, so i thought i would try to uninstall the program from there but i noticed the command prompt isn't in the C:\ drive its in a X:\Sources mode and the WMIC option you have mentioned doesn't seen to work, so i'm not sure if i need to get to the C:\ drive 1st which i would assume so but i have no idea how to get from this Administrator X:\Sources to the C:\ drive to be able to use the commands WMIC ... etc. so if you know how i do this i would be very very gratefull, many thanks in advance, best regards MadTaffy

    This doesn't work on WinXP Pro SP3 32bit. Entering "product get name" at the "wmic:root\cli>" prompt gives the following error:

    Code = 0x80041001
    Description = Generic failure
    Facility = WMI

    Typing in "/?" to see the list of commands or help, gives me a listing of commands, but it doesn't contain "product". I'm guessing maybe that what causes the error.

    is there a way is assume yes instead of waiting to be prompted?
  • glens68 · 2 months ago
    To bypass the yes prompt... as in the above example

    product where name="Adobe Reader 9" call uninstall /nointeractive

    By default its interactive

    See

    For options

    Hope this helps!!

    Beautiful. Ever since i started working with cmd, I'v always known it was the final stop for force removals. After uninstalling some programs to free up space, they still run in start-up. I just deleted the shell folders in program files and will carry out the instruction as above just for keeps.
    thanks shamanstears. cheers.
