Local $sUserName = "username" Local $sPassword = "password" Local $sDomain = "domain" Local $sProgram1 = "msiexec /x {Product Code} /q /norestart" Local $sProgram2 = "msiexec /x {Product Code} /q /norestart" ; Run a command prompt as the other user. RunAs($sUserName, $sPassword, $sDomain, 0, $sProgram1) RunAs($sUserName, $sPassword, $sDomain, 0, $sProgram2) Thanks, Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Your RunAs command is formatted incorrectly RunAs ( "username", "domain", "password", logon_flag, "program" [, "workingdir" [, show_flag [, opt_flag ]]] ) Your domain and password variables are reversed. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

BrewManNH Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Copy/paste from the help file, didn't think about the brackets.

donarm Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) Local $sUserName = @UserName Local $sPassword = "password" Local $sDomain = @ComputerName Local $sProgram1 = @ComSpec & ' /c "msiexec /x {Product Code} /q /norestart"' Local $sProgram2 = @ComSpec & ' /c "msiexec /x {Product Code} /q /norestart"' RunAs($sUserName, $sDomain, $sPassword, 0, $sProgram1) RunAs($sUserName, $sDomain, $sPassword, 0, $sProgram2) You wan't some coffee with that? I've tried this command but only 1 software successfully uninstall and another one still inside on the user computer. This problem occurs because of the embargoevents.exe application running while the uninstallation still in progress. This file belongs to product EmbargoEvents.exe and was developed by company Scriptlogic Software Corporation. So how i want to close or disable this application from running to make my uninstall successfull? Edited December 9, 2011 by donarm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 You probably can't uninstall 2 programs at the same time anyways, so you should probably be using RunAsWait instead of RunAs. RunAsWait will pause the script until the program has closed. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

donarm Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hi guys, I got it working perfectly!! After i'm added the RunAsWait on my command instead of RunAs i still have problem to uninstall this product. This problem occurs because of my account not strong enough to perform this task on the user computer. I'm not sure why my account can't perform this task even it already member of domain admin and enterprise admin. Thanks everyone for the help.. ; Fill in the username and password appropriate for your system.
