try this:
change
Del 'C:\Program Files\'+$File
to:
? 'C:\Program Files\'+$File
Del 'C:\Program Files\'+$File
? @error +' '+@serror
also, does your people have local admin?

No, they are all regular users, but I can't get it to run for me either.
I'll make the changes and report back...

Are you just trying to remove installed programs by deleting the directories?

if you READ the links that I provided, RD only works on empty directories
so you will need to provide directory names in your file.
and do something like:
for each $d in readfile($file)
del "%programfiles%\"+d$+"\*.*" /s /c
rd "%programfiles%\"+d$ /q
next
