Why windows apps do not unistall with manual uninstall command?

[keropi666]

Hello!

I poked in the registry and found the QUIET UNINSTALL commands of some windows components I want to easily remove with a .bat:

C:\PROGRA~1\OUTLOO~1\setup50.exe /APP:OE /UNINSTALL
C:\PROGRA~1\OUTLOO~1\setup50.exe /APP:WAB /CALLER:WIN9X /UNINSTALL
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSectionEx C:\WINDOWS\INF\mstask.inf,,,256

so I use those commands in the command prompt, the hdd works a little and no error is displayed.... next boot there is the "windows updates system files etc" but the actuall apps don't get removed, all I do is have them removed from the uninstall list...

is there a workaround?

thanks!

You mean "Add/Remove Windows Components"???

yes, the programs still are installed on the computer but on the "Add/Remove Windows Components" they appear to be uninstalled (meaning there is no check-mark next to them...)
