NoelC Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 No, I run with my own account, but I run with UAC disabled, which is probably different still from either logging in as Administrator or running elevated... -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptd163 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) I tried using your 1.2 script on a new VM I just made and I got these error messages. This is what I got when I redirected the output to a .txt file on the desktop.ERROR: One or more tools needed by this script cannot be located.This is what was actually displayed in the elevated CMD window.which: no SQLite3 in (.;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\)I didn't do anything. I just extracted it and tried to run it. Edited February 9, 2016 by ptd163 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you right click Run as Admin? A minimal set of tools is expected to be available via the current directory Edited February 9, 2016 by maxXPsoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A minimal set of tools is expected to be available via the current directory Yes, I'm running it admin as. I tried pathing to with an elevated CMD (Windows Key + X > Command Prompt (Admin)) and standard right click > Run as Admin. Neither works. I haven't added, deleted, or changed anything in the directory. I only extracted it. Edited February 9, 2016 by ptd163 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) I can't legally distribute the SQLite3.exe or SetACL.exe tools with the script (Gnu tools are okay). You have to download the ones that are missing yourself. At some point I will see if I can get the script to go gather them up, but it's not like that at the moment. As I mentioned in post 145 in this thread, you need to download them from these URLs:SQLite3.exe from (https://www.sqlite.org/download.html) SetACL.exe from Helge Klein (https://helgeklein.com/download/)-Noel Edited February 9, 2016 by NoelC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencorso Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 If GNU tools are OK, why not include wget and use it to download the others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care they can delete this one because your script is easiest method. Course some may not want to take out everything so you will have to fix that as a selection type later on. In case of error might add:END_OF_PROCEDUREPauseAnd you can use that %~dp0 in your file checking if exist %~dp0SetACL.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Yes, you're right - a thread just for this tool would be a good idea. I'm taking a derivative of it further, actually, into becoming a generalized Re-Tweaker - since that's what *I* need - but making something that's a generalized product for others is far more involved than doing something that suits oneself. Ideally this would grow up to be a generalized App uninstaller / installer with a GUI and checkboxes that would not be subject to the "Microsoft doesn't want you to be able to uninstall this and this and this" rules. That's a long way from a script that works for me alone, or even one that works anywhere. One step at a time. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelC Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Thanks for that feedback. I must be mostly on the right track then. There are a fair number of services that make no sense if the Apps are removed. I have my sights set on them next. Once I figure out the right set, I'll add the commands to disable them and let you know here. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them folders are not empty in C:\Windows\SystemApps. With wim_tweak they were or cortana wasThe only difference I think is it uses PkgMgr.exe /up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelC Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Good point, I'll look into it. I certainly want them removed entirely from the disk to save space. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelC Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Not sure what to do... It all went perfectly for me. Then after a reboot nothing came back... I guess it could have to do with the differences in our systems before the in-place upgrade, since some of the settings are actually retained. -Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
