Removing program
-
Is there a way to access the programs that are built into the add/remove program in control panel. I want to be able to write a vb program or script that removes the .net framework silently. Is it possibly to access what happens when you go to the control panel and click add/remove programmically? thanks in advance lep

The easy way to uninstall an app is to use the System.Management classes and WMI. You would be using the Win32_Product class. The downside is it won't do a silent uninstall. The hard way would be to use the Windows Installer API's. The documentation starts here[^]. The upside of using this method is that you get total control of how the uninstall behaves. The down side is it's complexity. I hope your doing in in VB6 and not VB.NET. Trying to write a program in VB.NET to uninstall the .NET Framework is never going to work since you cannot uninstall something that your program absolutely needs in order to run...
