It seems somewhat unnecessary to run in debug mode given that you popup a MessageBox() on Exist() and $programpath + "Does not Exist" on failure.

If you DON'T get the MessageBox() and you DO get $programpath + "Does not Exist", then obviously the folder does NOT Exist(). That is where you need to look.

You should not call C:\WINDOWS as a hard coded path. This can lead to failure on some systems which might have Windows installed in another folder such as WINNT or another and possibly even on another drive.

According to Microsoft documentation %SystemRoot% is the preferred method of locating the installation folder however in practice it does not appear that anyone is following that directive from what I see. In either case

%SystemRoot% or %WINDIR% should return the installation location of Windows.

You cannot use Exist($programpath) that points to the registry.

-f"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Pivotal\Relation\DeIsL1.isu"
is not a valid switch.

If Exist() = 0

Means IF NOT EXIST!

How can one help you if you don't heed any advice?

You should test the code step-by-step.

So, what is it? Is it a fodler or file? It's yoru system, you should be able to determine what it is. EXIST can check for both the existance of a folder and/or file.

Code:
? 'KiXtart v'+@kix
$folder='C:\Program Files\Pivotal\Relation'
select
case exist($folder+'\')
  ? $folder + 'is a folder and exists'
case exist($folder)
  ? $fodler + ' is a file and exists'
case 1
  ? 'Cannot find a file or folder by name f ' + $folder
endselect

Please run this codefragment and report the results.

Why do you keep changing from UNINSTAL to MSIEXEC ?

If you look on a client and at the uninstall string you need the EXACT string they supply.

Please provide that here.

when i run the script by Sealeopard is confirms the existence of the folder however when i run the following code it doesn't remove it. rather it jumps from the MESSAGEBOX to the DOES NOT EXIT line.....weird..


Break off

$programpath= "C:\Program Files\Pivotal\Relation"

If Exist($programpath) = 1

MessageBox ("", "Please wait while Relationship is uninstalled","ESI INT'L", 10, 0, 1)

Shell 'C:\WINDOWS\uninst.exe -y -f"C:\Program Files\Pivotal\Relation\DeIsL1.isu"'

$rc = Shutdown("", "System is being rebooted to enable new settings.", 300, 0, 1)

Sleep 6

Else
? $programpath + "Does not Exist"

Please use CODE TAGS when posting to preserve the formatting.

I did not ask for the script you found, though if you found that one a link to where you found it would be good.

Please copy this into a clean new script and run it like this from a workstation that has it installed and report back exactly what it returns.


KIX32.EXE RemoveRelation.kix

Code:
Dim $Msg, $Pause
If Exist('C:\Program Files\Pivotal\Relation\relation.exe')
  $Msg = MessageBox('Please wait while Relationship is uninstalled','ESI International',4160,10)
  ;I'm guessing this line is correct as I don't know and I don't have the program to test
  Shell 'C:\WINDOWS\uninst.exe -y -f"C:\Program Files\Pivotal\Relation\DeIsL1.isu" '
  'Error: ' + @ERROR + ' - ' + @SERROR ?
  'Press any key to continue ' ?
  Get $Pause
  ;This will FORCE all applications closed without saving data within 90 seconds
  $RC = Shutdown("","System is being rebooted to enable new settings.", 90, 1, 1)
  ;No need for a sleep command
Else
  ;You would not want this to show though on every logon
  'The eRelation program was not found on this system ' ?
EndIf
