Then modify it to include error handling. My coworker added the ability to exclude a version of the JRE. He isn't a VBS person, but it seems to work. Here is his version. Close If Not blFound Then ts. Close WScript. These processes will cause the installer to fail. Shell" wshShell. Comments: Are you guys doing something to make this look formatted? That is gibberish!

Is there no code tag here? Posted by: Daz 12 years ago. Dan, You're addition is pretty much what I would have advised anyway. VBScab, I appreciate the comments about error trapping. Error-Trapping is immensely time consuming.

I used Altiris NS to push out the script. The calling script copied the logs back to a central location, and I could see from NS if the process was attempted. Therefore: 1: If the script failed catastrophically before logging anything, I would see the script fail from NS.

If any of those computers fail to create the only two objects I use here WScript. Shell and Scripting. FileSystemObject the computer would have far more problems than running my script. I would have retrieved the registry settings directly using the stdRegProv. I only shelled out in this sub to retain the same format used by muaddip in his original effort. Having said that, I completely accept your point about checking the variable contains data, under normal circumstances.

But if the msiexec process fails to uninstall one of the versions because the process is still running, the msiexec return code will be logged in the log. I agree completely with your critique, however I believe that the effort you put into error-trapping has to be proportionate to the chances of an error occurring undetected. In my case and I only wrote the script for my situation, sharing was a courtesy , it was virtually impossible for the script to fail and me not know about it.

Many thanks, Daz. Here is our latest version. FolderExists strLogPath Then fso. Exiting Script. Posted by: clyrigham 12 years ago. Some return codes will try to perform the installation again, other give the SMS a failed message and other return a successfully!

Basically it uses a second temp file for uninstall routines found in the WOWNode section of the registry and changes the formula for CLSID for these as well an 85 character offset rather than I am sure that this modification could be prettier in the code, but this is the easiest.

Thanks for the previous posts. They have helped tremendously. Posted by: drlandau 10 years ago. Maybe someone can use this info as well. Posted by: tamahome 9 years ago. How about this for uninstalling all versions? Comments: Tamahomer has the right idea. Make it simple. Get rid of it all: All Java 5,6,7 gone. Posted by: schrotti12 6 years ago. Comments: This works, but it's a little careless. I would be careful with this one.

Yeah, you are right. I don't use this product but a more specific filter would be useful. Thanks for the hint! I tried it and it works. I changed it in the code.

Side note, when you are trying to do domain computers, you might be required to surround the computer name in quotes. When I have to uninstall things on my network I have to do. I put this one together that will start the process to the entire list at once in different command prompts.

I usually do around 30 computers. More than that and the command prompts slow down. I have all my text files on the C: drive. Some computers hangs up for some reason.

You have to be patient while the uninstall process starts.
