Uninstall user setup Visual Studio Code
Rudy_Ooms_MVP I saved my script as Uninstall.ps1 and added it to my VSCodeUserSetup-x64-1.65.2.intunewin file and uploaded it. I then changed the Uninstall command to PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -WindowStyle Hidden -File Uninstall.ps1. It doesn’t work on my own machine, but on three others. So that’s fine, probably something weird with my computer.
Thank you very much Rudy for your help! 😀
Rudy_Ooms_MVP Thanks for your input Rudy! Do you use Intune yourself? If you want to be able to uninstall with a script, do you have to copy it into the file system in connection with the installation or is it included in the .intunewin package? It sounds complicated but I can try. The funny thing is, if I run "%LocalAppData%\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\unins000.exe" /SILENT /NOCANCEL manually, there is no problem.
Do I use Intune myself :P... it depends.... https://callcloud.nl
When you are packaging the msi app as a win32app you are probably using the intunewinutill tool to do so.. it sort of a zip file with the powershell install and uninstall command or in this case script in it....
Deploying apps with Intune could just act a bit different then you would expect... and calling upon the localappdata could give you an issue...
Rudy_Ooms_MVP I tried to uninstall with your PS-script via Intune and got a new error Uninstall Failed:
0x80070001 and VS Code remains installed. If I run the script manually, as admin, it works.- you could also try to see what happens when you try to get-childitem in the c:\users\*\appdata\local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\ folder to search for the uninstall.exe and if found execute it?
Rudy_Ooms_MVP Thanks Rudy! This code will work if I run it manually as local admin. I will test it in Intune and get back.
