Need a policy or script to mass uninstall Adobe Shockwave

[Yeo695]

Any suggestions? I have a bad version (12.xx) of shockwave pushed out to 30 laptops, I rolled back to version 11 and everything is working perfectly. The issue is when installing version 11 it won't remove version 12.xx so I need a general shockwave script or a suggestion on how to create the policy to remove it. Then after that I already have a policy to push out version 11.

Are you using Group Policy to deploy Shockwave or something else (like SCCM)?

Group Policy, to be specific server 2012.

if you msi'd the duff version via gpo just remove it from the gpo and select immediately uninstall should get shut of it

wmic product where "name like ''" call uninstall /nointeractive 

 

Might have to issue: taskkill /F /IM iexplore.exe in case any open processes cause issues....

 

I use this effectively for all kinds of things (utorrent, TOR etc) Just check the running process for the name.....
