    hello,

    I just saw this post, yes, this is it.
    you can add uninstall parameters, use this to find uninstall id:

     

    get-wmiobject Win32_Product | Sort-Object -Property Name | Format-Table IdentifyingNumber, Name, LocalPackage -AutoSize

     

    note the Vmware uninstall id (exemple: {AC76DA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-AD04E4200}  then use it in  intune commade :

     

    msiexec /x “{AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-AC0F074E4100}” /q

     

    you can also chek befor if vmware.exe exists on the PC by adding detection rule:
