How can I uninstall an application in Windows using Perl?

Question

Is it possible to uninstall an application in windows using a Perl script?

Answer 1

I dont think there is any standard Perl module which accepts the application name and uninstall it. To uninstall an application you need to know its uninstaller application name/path. You can launch the uninstaller application from the Perl script by calling it in the System function.

Answer 2

You need to know every step you did in the installation process like inserting registry keys and which files and directories were generated in the installation proccess.

Answer 3

I don't know much about perl, but you might be able to use Msiexec
