LNSS Script Editor, Uninstall Programs - 7.Oct.2008 9:15:28 AM

Hi, my name is Zach and this is my first post. At work I've been assigned to write a script in the LNSS Script Editor to put in a computer name on the network and select a program to uninstall, then uninstall it. Here is what I have so far:

Dim inputString
Dim inputProgram
inputComputer = InputBox("Computers:")

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & inputComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Dim list
Set colSoftware = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_Product")
For Each objSoftware In colSoftware
 list = list + objSoftware.Name & vbCrLf
Next

inputProgram = InputBox(list)

Set colSoftware = objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_Product Where Name = '" & inputProgram & "'")
For Each objSoftware In colSoftware
 objSoftware.Uninstall()
Next

Not sure if this was the right forum to put this in so feel free to move it. It lets me enter the computer name and lets me enter a program name from the list but then does not uninstall anything. If anyone knows anything about this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

To better understand what product you are referring to, when would you like this list of applications to uninstall to pop-up? Is this a separate application to be run once noticing an application listed in the GFI Languard N.S.S. scanner?

Yes its a script written in VBScript which I did in the LNSS Script Editor, I'm assuming that the person I'm making this for would use it after a Languard Scan. What I wrote works up to where it lists the Windows programs, the list comes up fine on whatever computer on the network I enter, but it just does not uninstall, everywhere I've looked about the WMI that is exactly what I'm supposed to have.

Also, do you think its possible that since the new version of GFI already has an ability built in to uninstall programs remotely that they disabled the Uninstall() call in the WMI so that you couldn't create a process that is already available?

This type of post may better be suited in a Microsoft developer forum as our products typically don't support VBS scripts very often. One of our applications (GFI Network Server Monitor) does supports VBS scripts, and you may find some limited success from users monitoring those forums.
