Software Uninstall!?!?!

[BCM4309]

Does anyone have a script for a custom action that would uninstall a particular product (program directory as well as shortcuts)?

Thanks,

What kind of install?

msiexec /x {ProductCode} works for Windows Installer installs (upgrade-table preferred).

There is a uninstall string in the registry somewhere, works for most other installs.

I know I can look here:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
for the uninstall string. The problem is when you run:
"C:\Program Files\WinZip\WINZIP32.EXE" /uninstall it prompts the client to choose yes or no. Is there another switch I can use to automate this? I haven't been able to find one. I need to completely uninstall the previous software and then install the current version of the same software in one instance if possible.

Thanks,

Bryan

This kind of options differ per product. http://www.appdeploy.com has a database with commandline-switches for installs.
