This is what I would try; if the application does not have a valid uninstall string in the registry and the uninstaller is missing, you may have to resort to alternative methods to uninstall it. Here are a few options you can try:
1. Reinstall the application: Sometimes, reinstalling the application can help fix the uninstaller. Download the latest version of RapidTyping and install it again, then try to uninstall it as usual.
2. Use a third-party uninstaller: There are many third-party uninstallers available that can help remove stubborn applications. Some popular options include Revo Uninstaller, IObit Uninstaller, and Geek Uninstaller. These programs scan your computer for installed programs and offer a more thorough removal process than the standard Windows uninstaller.
3. Manual uninstall: If all else fails, you can try to manually uninstall the program. This method requires some technical expertise and should be approached with caution. Here are the general steps to follow:
A) End any processes related to the program in the Task Manager.
B) Delete the program folder in C:\Program Files.
C). Search for any remaining files or folders related to the program and delete them.
D) Open the Registry Editor (regedit) and delete any registry keys associated with the program. Be careful not to delete unrelated keys.
Note: Manually deleting registry keys can be risky and may cause problems with your system if done incorrectly. It's recommended to ALWAYS create a backup of your registry before making any changes.
4. Use Endpoint Manager to create a custom script: If you're using Endpoint Manager, you can create a custom script to uninstall RapidTyping. Here's an example PowerShell script you can use:
# Get the program name from the DisplayName in the registry $programName = (Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -like "*RapidTyping*"}).DisplayName # Uninstall the program using the program name & "$($env:windir)\System32\msiexec.exe" /x $(Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -like "*$programName*"}).UninstallString /qn
This script searches the registry for the program name and uninstalls it using the uninstall string. To use this script in Endpoint Manager, you can create a new custom script and paste the code into the script editor. Then, assign the script to the devices you want to run it on.
It's ALWAYS recommended to back up your system and registry before attempting to uninstall any program manually or using a third-party uninstaller.
