Struggling with Uninstall Script
I've got a script that does just that.

r/PowerShell on Reddit: Struggling with Uninstall Script
May 7, 2021 -
Hello All,
I'm trying to write a script that searches for any install of a specific application (Dell Command | Update) in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall. I'm trying to avoid using get-wmiobject. All I really want is for the application's GUID to be piped into a variable, so I can use it to make my own uninstall string with my own arguments. I can't seem to get this right or find an example online of this. Has anyone solved this already and can share?

I used to pull msiexec uninstall strings from the registry and make wmi calls. Now I like to leverage get-package as it displays a bunch of good information about installed applications. Here is my one liner for uninstalling start-process -FilePath msiexec.exe -ArgumentList "/x $((Get-Package | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "Dell Command | Update for Windows 10"}).fastpackagereference) /qn /norestart"

r/Intune on Reddit: Dell Command Update | Uninstall & Install

I'm trying to manage BIOS & driver updates for Dell devices via Intune. I have packaged the latest DCU apps, settings are configured as per https://evil365.com/dell/UpdateDriversBIOS-DellCommandUpdate/ .
Everything is working fine only when the latest DCU universal app packaged and deployed to the devices. If the device is installed with the older version of DCU, the settings are not getting applied. I assume this is because I used the ADMX from the latest DCU app.
Is there a way to uninstall old app as part of the new app deployment? I have a PR script in place to uninstall DCU, but it could conflict with the installation as it'll detect the displayName and remove the app.

Start using driver updates from intune. It’s not as frequent or robust, but this shit goes away.

I'd say you want to do something like a custom detection script. Something like this to check the version of the app Double check the name is correct for the first variable: (get-package | Where-Object {$_.name -match "Dell"}).name Example Detection Script replaced the app name and version with the version I have installed. When you upload the detection script, if there's something odd in the very first line, it's something like like ?>> If you see that you need to re-save the script using something like Notepad. ## The app name changes for different installations $AppName = "Dell Command | Update for Windows Universal" $App = (get-package -name $AppName -erroraction silentlycontinue) ## Version check: # This variable should be updated to match the build being deployed. $minver = [Version]"5.4.0" $AppVer = [Version]$App.Version if ($App){ write-host "$AppName Installed" if ($AppVer -lt $minver) { Write-Host "Old version" exit 1618 } else { Write-Host "Version is up to date" exit 0 } } else { write-host "$AppName Not Found" exit 1618 } <# Intune Default Exit Codes 0 Sucess 1707 Success 3010 Soft reboot 1641 Hard reboot 1618 Retry #>
