I am trying to uninstall a non Win32 app with the following code:
$appName = "my_non_Win32_app"
$user = $env:USERNAME
$scriptPath = Split-Path -Parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path
Set-Location -Path $scriptPath
Write-Output "Script Initialization..."
function Get-App {
param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
[string]$Name
)
# Get application GUID
$app = (Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* `
-ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | `
Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -like "$Name"}) | `
Select DisplayName, PSChildName, DisplayVersion, UninstallString
$app += (Get-ItemProperty HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* `
-ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | `
Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -like "$Name"}) | `
Select DisplayName, PSChildName, DisplayVersion, UninstallString
return $app
}
$GUID = Get-App -Name "$($appName)"
If ($GUID -ne $Null) {
foreach ($app in $GUID) {
$guid = $app.PSChildName
Start-Process msiexec.exe -ArgumentList `
"/x $guid /passive /norestart" -Wait
$appGUID = Get-App -Name $app.DisplayName
If (!$GUID) {
Exit 0
}
else {
Start-Process $($app.UninstallString) -ArgumentList `
"/S" -Wait
$GUID = Get-App -Name $app.DisplayName
If (!$GUID) {
Write-Output "App `"$($app.DisplayName)`" has been uninstalled successfully!"
Exit 0
} else {
Write-Output "App `"$($app.DisplayName)`" FAILED to uninstall using msiexec and Uninstall string methods"
Exit 1
}
}
}
}
else
{
Write-Output "No `"$appName`" app found!"
Exit 0
}
It works only when I am logged in as administrator. I want to make it run regardless of user rights.
