Well, here is one for size. Why don't you spend your time more
productively by learning how to script and come up with your own safe
100% functional add/remove script?
You demonstrate impresive insight into software design and debugging.
I'm sure Window eyes scripting would be a piece of cake for you!
Go on, as we say on this side of the pond, let's have you put your
money where your mouth is!

Most folks here don't know anything outside of window-eyes and have
no idea of what really goes on over there.
But when Jaws acts up, or there's trouble I write to them, and I
have gotten good support from my friends who work for Fs.
So please don't patronize 'grin'.
I'm glad you are having no troubles, so just let the rest of us who
are get about trying to get them resolved.
You can cheer us on from the cheer-leader squad.
Peace right back at ya man.

I wonder if we would be so brave on a Freedom scientific list. The

Pardon me, but I think people have a right to be
concerned is scripts don't work.
After all, that was the big push in the last development cycle,
scripting pushed most other concerns to the back burner.
So now if most of the company scripts are having problems, and
people are concerned, well, they paid good money to be.
Removeing the script will certianly fix the problem, but that's
like removing your eye if you get something in it 'grin'.
We're seeing a prime example of a little company who bit off more
than they could chew and didn't give them selves enough time to chew it.
I've more or less come to grips with we, using it for the things
it works well for.
Web surfing, as long as you don't mind loosing your place a lot,
but I'm used to we.
it's good for exploring stuff, and mousing around.
The scripts mostly work when they're not generating errors.
I don't feel warm and fuzzy unless I have 5 or 6 errors a day but
if the boys and girls are doing their job, this is helping them.
I take great delight in making smart-ass comments when I send in
bug reports.
But when we makes me mad, I have other alternatives.
Some folks here don't and I'd be mad too if my main means of
access wasn't doing what I needed.
So trying to keep a balance between productively trying to squash
bugs, and airing grievances, and being decent about it, and giving
the guys a chance, all in all, I gotta to say, when someone's paid
out good money, they expect results.
I don't think they know entirely what they're doing yet, because
scripting is so new for we, so we're having some growing pains.
But it is frustrating as hell when your trying to get work done.
God I do wish we didn't get rushed out the door so fast, you know
a lot of people are afraid to speak up, but I've gotten some
interesting private emails about this and that.
I get in trouble for running my mouth, but better to die on your
feet and live on your knees.
So I tell all my students, and fellow we users, call them up,
write them, let them know what you need and what ain't workin
that's the only way things will ever change.
If a blind man never stood up and fought for what they needed,
we'd still be out in the street selling pencils and begging for aums.
Some of us still aren't that much further along.
But as long as we are paying gwmicro salaries, we have a right to
ask, and to question, and yes, indeed to respectfully complain
when it is called for.
Thank you, and soap box session over.

Why don't you just remove the script instead of engaging in endless debate?

The Add/Remove script was really just a proof of concept, so
there may be issues. All it does is read in the uninstall keys
in the registry, and then populates a list box with the
results. There are no uninstall checks or anything like that
to verify that an application can be uninstalled. It just
calls the string in the uninstall key to begin the
installation. As this is a GW Micro script, it is free to
modify and re-distribute, so if someone wants to beef it up,
they're welcome to it.

Hello to the list,
I have the add remove script installed and when I activate
the script with alt control a the list box comes up
fine. The problem comes in when I try to remove a
program. I get error messages that the program cannot be
removed or that windows can't find the file. Is this
supposed to work when you use this script? When I go to add
remove programs in control panel it works just fine. If this
is an issue with the script I hope it can be resolved as it
is an easy way to remove programs.
