Hi Everyone,

Hoping someone has come across a solution to this. I have an application that 
is installing correctly however when I go to uninstall it using the Software 
Center it uninstalls correctly but the Software Center reports that it has 
failed.

It's using its own uninstall .exe to remove the software and my detection rule 
is using the presence of the applications .exe to determine if its installed. 
(It doesn't use MSI technology, looks like install shield or something similar)

When the uninstall.exe runs it kicks off the uninstall process however it 
returns an exit code 0 (success) straight away in the AppEnforce.log. Then App 
deployment detection runs immediately after this exit code is registered and 
because the application's exe is still present it thinks it hasn't uninstalled. 
It eventually fixes itself up after an Application Deployment Evaluation cycle 
is run which then picks up that the exe is no longer present.

The problem really lies in my detection rule however I'm not sure what options 
I have. If anyone has encountered this sort of issue before and has a possible 
solution I would be interested in their thoughts. I'm thinking I need a script 
maybe that will loop until the uninstall.exe has finished removing the 
application??

Cheers
Damon
