Jason,
Would this still work for an app, such as Live Meeting where the registry string is as follows: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Live Meeting Would modifying your script to use HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE work?

Double % are used for the wildcards because if you do single % it tries to find a variable by that name. This also assumes only a single version would be installed at a time. Run multiple times for multiple installs (if possible), or work out a FOR loop to execute the command for each match found. Another option (requiring a lot more research) is to find all the PIDS and do a series of msiexec /x[PID] /qn commands.

In my environment we have approximately 9 different versions of Live Meeting. Since the installers are all MSI based, I was hoping there would be an easy way to script/automate the uninstall so I would only require 1 single package to get the job done in SCCM. When I say multiple versions, here is what I mean: 8.0.6362.187 8.0.6362.202 8.0.6362.215 8.0.6362.223 8.0.6362.229 8.0.6362.239 8.0.6362.249 8.0.6362.254 8.0.6362.259 What would be the best way to package an uninstall script to tackle this? I don't want to have multiple MSI uninstall packages. Can someone provide some insight on to a recommended approach?
