Uninstall AutoIT itself?

[gmoney]

I am not an AutoIT user/scripter & have a requirement to install AutoIT on several Windows 10 dev machines via ConfigManager. Downloaded the current realease AutoIt v3.3.14.5.

Created a simple, straightfoward install using the downloaded EXE & "/S". It installs to the expected " \Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3" folder.

Also need to create a comanion "Uninstall" for same. What is the syntax and/or how do I call "Uninstall.exe" from the program install to complete this uninstall? 

IF I attempt to run the "Uninstall.exe" from an elevated command prompt, it throws a "NSIS Error - error launching installer" dialog - which seems to indicate that the NSIS compiled "Unistall.exe" itself is broken/corrupt??

Searching the forum, I cannot find an answer.

Thanks in advance!

you can look in the registry for the uninstallation string.

Are you running the UNINSTALL command as Administrator?

Thank you both... I am running UNINSTALL as admin , but checked for the uninstall string in the registry.

I found the uninstall string for AutoIt in the "HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\AutoItv3" location. Command line is as I expected: "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Uninstall.exe"

Still digging. Firing the Unstall.exe in the AutoIT install folder, but fighting McAfee to run it outside of SCCM.

Thanks again.

I tested the following line and it worked perfectly. This was on Win10 Enterprise on a VM local machine, no security software.

Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Uninstall.exe /S")

Have you tried adding #RequireAdmin to the top of your script? How about RunAs instead of Run (domain credentials can be tricky with this)? What about whitelisting the script/exe in McAfee?
