As it's only a short script I'll post it here for the benefit of everyone...
NB it doesn't uninstall 3.3.2 since the uninstall is different, but 3.3.3
works fine. You'll have to change path to tightvnc etc. too but you should
get the idea. I've used it on about 20 machines ok so far (with the
exception of one that was running 3.3.2! - where it gets stuck in the 'Not
yet uninstalled' bit ;-) )
