Uninstalling software Forcefully and Silently 1

[k3y3n1n]

I made vbs to uninstall act v6 from my computer. The vbs works but I have to click next and Yes to all. I need help on making it by pass that and automatically uninstall everything with out prompting me.
---------------------------------------------------------
Set WshShell = Nothing
Set oReg = Nothing

const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strComputer = "."
Set oReg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" &_
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

' Uninstall first application...
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ACT!"
strValueName = "UninstallString"
oReg.GetStringValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strValueName,strUninstallFullPath
If IsNull(strUninstallFullPath) Then
' wscript.echo "Uninstall path for app1 is null"
Else

WshShell.Run strUninstallFullPath,8,true

End If

You probably want some entirely different forum, since this one is intended for questions about programming in VB5 and VB6.

However...

This isn't nearly as easy as you might hope. Every installer technology is somewhat different. In many cases you'll find that the program you find at that registry location cannot even be run in the manner you are trying.

The VB6 PDW's ST6UNST.EXE for example will most likly pop up a dialog complaining that it wasn't run from Add/Remove programs.

For other installer technologies you might consult resources such as Unattended.

Yes I notice after I posted it, that it was for Visual basic form not vb scripting so sorry about that. So would you know any other sites that can help me on this? Also I really appreciate you commenting on my question and the unattended site is a nice reference. Thank you

I can think of two resources dealing with app deployment that you might find worth digging through:

InstallSite

AppDeploy.com forums
