Cannot uninstall kb

[obfuscatedv]

Been stuck for several hours trying to uninstall a kb.  From the command prompt, it works fine:

cd c:

then,

C:WindowsSystem32wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:xxxxxxx /quiet /norestart

Wusa does its thing, finds the kb, after the wusa process is done restart the pc, and its gone.

For the autoit scripts Ive tried:

ShellExecute("wusa.exe" & '/uninstall /kb:xxxxxxx /quiet /norestart')

No luck ^

$wusa = @WindowsDir & "\System32\wusa.exe"
Run($wusa & " /uninstall /kb:xxxxxxx /quiet /norestart")

No luck ^

$cmd = "wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:xxxxxxx /quiet /norestart"
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $cmd, @WindowsDir & "\System32", @SW_HIDE)

No luck ^

;FileCopy(@ScriptDir & '\kbuninstall.cmd', "C:\Temp")
;Sleep(5000)
;RunWait('C:\Temp\kbuninstall.cmd', '', @sw_hide)

^ Even tried running both .cmd and .bat files locally

$x = RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c C:\Windows\System32\wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:xxxxxxx /quiet /norestart", @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE)
MsgBox(0, "", $x)

No luck on this either, although it does bomb out with error code -2147418113 which appears to be a "catastrophic failure," (lol) similar to this link:  https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/a218e294-b0e6-4b26-80a9-4eef72476fff/wusaexe-uninstall-and-sccm?forum=configmgrsum

Searched up and down, never seen anything like it.

If your OS is a 64 bits, you can try to use the native x64 system32 directory by using @WindowsDir & "sysnative"  :

$wusa = @WindowsDir & "\SystemNative\wusa.exe"
Run($wusa & " /uninstall /kb:xxxxxxx /quiet /norestart")

Not really sure ..

Unfortunately that does not work either.

I think you need #RequireAdmin on top of your script

I do have #RequireAdmin at the top, sorry for not mentioning!

If your OS is a 64 bits, you can try to use the native x64 system32 directory by using @WindowsDir & "sysnative"  :

This specific issue relates to running a .cmd/bat through ComSpec with a 32bit compiled .EXE on 64bit OS. In this case, Windows will use the cmd.exe in Syswow.

@OP try compile your AutoIT.exe in x64 architecture if you are using Windows x64.

Fantastic, that did it.  I did not even think about that.  You rock!  Thanks!

then just disabling redirection should work as well?

DllCall("kernel32.dll", "int", "Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection", "int", 1)

I am trying that out just for fun to see if it does.

Simple Fix try to add to your script one little line to that is missing.

#RequireAdmin ;~ this is whats missing UAC is not allowing the command to run.

ShellExecute("wusa.exe" & '/uninstall /kb:xxxxxxx /quiet /norestart')

UAC is blocking you, this is why its not working. 

I hope this works... let me know ...
