How to Change Uninstall Commands in the Software > Uninstall Button options?

[modem-19]

I ran across a situation when testing the v1.3.1 "Uninstall Button" in the Software category for a given machine.

I wanted to remove CCleaner and after several attempts, each attempt failed. It turns out the provided command is "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\uninst.exe" However per CCleaner documentation the actual command should be: "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\uninst.exe" /S for a silent/unattended install. When making this manual change, it worked like a charm.

Is there anyway for me to make this change permanent for other machines as the change didn't save when going to a second machine to run this command on.

Thanks!

Not possible because all the uninstall button does is read the reg key on the machine.

You could write a script that would change all the reg entries on all the computers you wish for that uninstaller task though

Thanks for that information. Because this was a one-off program installed on two PC's, I altered the default uninstall prompt by adding the silent switch to the uninstall command.

What I did find is for CCleaner, the uninstall process prompts the end user to interact with the uninstall process rather than it being silent.

I do want to test this with other programs to see if they default to the uninstaller that requires an interactive series of prompts or if they uninstall silently.

Herding thousands of developers to adjust their uninstallers and options for supporting silent uninstall options for IT staff management.

Sounds like a Herculean task to undertake, let us know how it goes!

Actually not looking to herd countless developers to crafting unified silent uninstall commands. Rather, I was wondering if something could be coded into tRMM so that if a custom uninstaller command is used, it could remember that as an option for next time for removing the same software on a different PC/client?

That way the onus is put on us tRMM users if we find a better/custom silent uninstaller for a given piece of software, tRMM simply remembers it and gives it as an option next time.
