Sardith Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I have a question, that I can't seem to answer with search, or prior knowledge. What I wanted to know, is like a program like ventrilo. The uninstall isn't listed in it's folder, and I choose not to use the windows uninstall interface. What I wanted to do, was use autoit to uninstall ventrilo. But there's no uninstall .exe in the folder. So how do I go about removing it without using window's uninstaller? Sure I could delete the directory. Is that the same method that the windows uninstaller is using, then removing all the registry entries when theres no uninstall.exe with the program? Any help would be great.

Sardith Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Not to sound more clueless on this subject, but if there is a uninstall string, then where would I go from there?

PsaltyDS Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Not to sound more clueless on this subject, but if there is a uninstall string, then where would I go from there?Read the UninstallString value and Run() it.
