Uninstall win32 app without uninstall.exe in programfiles folder
I want to be able to uninstall an application called Rapidtyping from https://rapidtyping.com/. It seems it doesnt have a valid uninstall string in the registery. The register refers to C:\Program ...
rahuljindal-MVP There is also a 32bit version, but there is also no uninstall.exe file in the programfiles x86 folder.
When i use the command 'wmic product get name', the app name isn't listed. I think it only shows MSI based software.
The link you shared before contains details on using a ‘Portable method’. ~~Manually delete the folder containing RapidTyping's files and remove desktop shortcuts to them (if any).~~ Have you tried this? Should be enough to script these steps.
- It seems that the uninstall.exe file is created when i re-run the installer file again. The uninstaller is not always created after the installation is done. So i think i need to do some more testing and maybe create a Powershell script to re-run this installer (silent) to create the uninstaller.exe in the ProgramFiles folder of the application.
- Or capture the uninstaller, wrap it up along with other files (if any) together with an uninstall script and dump it locally on the device and run it from there.
