McAfee Agent Uninstall Failure

[stev379]

Any ideas why this would fail with no reaction? No error, log system or application logs.

I'm logged on with a domain admin account.

This is the line that fails even if I run it by itself

Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\McAfee\Common Framework\FrmInst.exe /FORCEUNINSTALL")

Ideally, the actual full script would be something like this.

I tested with msgbox's and the version checker and msgbox works fine up to the line before the Run command, but I can't get the command to actually run.

I tested running a notepad file that I moved to the same Common Framework directory and it ran without error. It's the FrmInst.exe that won't run.

Any help or suggestions would be great. We've got about 300 machines with McAfee's 4.0 agent installed and I need to get them up to speed with our other machines.

If @OSArch = "x64" Then
    $MCAFEE_AGENT_VER = FileGetVersion("C:\Program Files (x86)\McAfee\Common Framework\FrmInst.exe", "ProductVersion")
    If $MCAFEE_AGENT_VER < 4.9 Then
        'MsgBox(0,'','64 BIT START AGENT UNINSTALL')
        Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\McAfee\Common Framework\FrmInst.exe /FORCEUNINSTALL")
    EndIf
Else
    $MCAFEE_AGENT_VER = FileGetVersion("C:\Program Files\McAfee\Common Framework\FrmInst.exe", "ProductVersion")
    If $MCAFEE_AGENT_VER < 4.9 Then
        'MsgBox(0,'','32 BIT START AGENT UNINSTALL')
        Run("C:\Program Files\McAfee\Common Framework\FrmInst.exe /FORCEUNINSTALL")
    EndIf
EndIf

If @OSArch = "x64" AND FileExists("C:\Program Files (x86)\McAfee\Common Framework\FrmInst.exe") Then
    MsgBox(0,'', 'UNINSTALL FAILURE')
EndIf

Try using #RequireAdmin at the top of the script and when that doesn't solve it try changing the workdir before running the program:

FileChangeDir("C:\Program Files (x86)\McAfee\Common Framework")
Run("FrmInst.exe /FORCEUNINSTALL")

your run command has 3 spaces in the path, that will fail everytime until you put some quotes around it  (another set, as the first set is for autoit, the second set, preferably of the single variety so you dont have to add even more quotes, will go with your string and should fix things)  or change your workingdir as Jos suggested.

run ("cmd /k C:\Program Files (x86)\McAfee\Common Framework\FrmInst.exe /FORCEUNINSTALL")

should bomb at the space between program and files until you put it in quotes, but will leave the cmd window up so you can see the error.  I tend to use cmd /k until the command works every test.
