You can run the following PowerShell code to get the UninstallString for the products from the registry:

Get-ChildItem -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall", "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -match ".NET" } | Select-Object -Property DisplayName, UninstallString

DisplayName                                          UninstallString
-----------                                          ---------------
Microsoft ASP.NET Core 3.0.3 Shared Framework (x64)  MsiExec.exe /X{04DEAACD-DD28-3F35-980F-9B3123640CA7}

Then copy the appropriate MsiExec /X{...} commands from the output and paste them into an elevated PowerShell or cmd prompt, and add /quiet to the end to make them run silently.

msiexec

First of all, you have to check for the silent uninstall command.

For this purpose I usually use this tool: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/uninstall_view.html

UninstallView is a tool for Windows that collects information about all programs installed on your system and displays the details of the installed programs in one table. You can use it to get installed programs information for your local system, for remote computer on your network, and for external hard-drive plugged to your computer. It also allows you to easily uninstall a software on your local computer and remote computer (Including quiet uninstall if the installer supports it).

The tool displays the silent uninstall command.

If you find the command, try it out manually. Sometimes, even a command is provided, silent uninstall doesn't work as expected.

Second, my recommendation is not to use WMI for uninstall, cause it is slow in determine the installed programs. Instead check for the registry key, which is also displayed by the tool.

To be more generic, read in these keys

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

search for DisplayName with a where statement and execute the command in the quietuninstall key.

You could use this PowerShell fragment :

$program = Get-ChildItem -Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall, HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -match "Part of App Name" } | Select-Object -Property DisplayName, Uninstallstring, QuietUninstallString 

start-process cmd.exe -argumentlist "/c ""prog.quietUninstallString) /norestart""" -Wait

Where "Part of App Name" is enough to uniquely identify the product.

Within PowerShell, this is very easy to do.

The below block of script will take a computer name, your username and password, connect to the remote computer and list all installed software by name:

$computerName = "SomeComputerName"
$yourAccount = Get-Credential
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computerName -Credential $yourAccount -ScriptBlock {
    Get-WmiObject Win32_Product | Select Name
}

When you have the name of the product you want to uninstall remotely - you can the perform an uninstall like this:

$computerName = "SomeComputerName"
$appName = "AppName"
$yourAccount = Get-Credential
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computerName -Credential $yourAccount -ScriptBlock {
    Get-WmiObject Win32_product | Where {$_.name -eq $appName} | ForEach {
        $_.Uninstall()
    }
}

In the above eaxmples - replace "SomeComputerName" with the name of the computer you wish to uninstall from.

You can also make the script prompt you for a computer name if you prefer with the following line:

$computerName = Read-Host "Enter Computer Name"

If you have multiple computers with the same piece of software that you want to uninstall - you can also define an array of computers to work with and do uninstalls from lots of machines:

$computerNames = @("SomeComputerName1", "SomeComputerName2", "SomeComputerName3")
$appName = "AppName"
$yourAccount = Get-Credential
ForEach ($computerName in $computerNames) {
    Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computerName -Credential $yourAccount -ScriptBlock {
        Get-WmiObject Win32_product | Where {$_.name -eq $appName} | ForEach {
            $_.Uninstall()
        }
    }
}

You need two more quotes around the argumentlist. This will force a reboot as they are uninstalled in my test. You could probably avoid that with an additional switch though.

Edit: this should be the final one.

$program = Get-ChildItem -Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall, HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -match 'c\+\+ 2015-' } | Select-Object -Property DisplayName, Uninstallstring, QuietUninstallString 

foreach($prog in $program){start-process cmd.exe -argumentlist "/c ""$($prog.quietUninstallString) /norestart""" -Wait}

If it's an msi you can use uninstall-package:

get-package *chrome* | uninstall-package -whatif

Hi,

Is there a way to run an uninstaller (.exe and no msiexec) script silently with no user prompt?

I’m trying to run this script but I still get a prompt to continue. I understand that silent uninstall only works on .msi / msiexec files. Any input is appreciated.

Script:

$unins = Get-ChildItem -Path “HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall” -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object {$.Displayname -like “Advanced Monitoring*”} | Select Displayname, UninstallString
$unins = Get-ChildItem -Path “HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall” -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object {$.Displayname -like “Advanced Monitoring Agent Network Management”} | Select Displayname, UninstallString

Start-Process -FilePath $unins.UninstallString -ArgumentList “/s”, “/qn” -Wait
