Hi,

I am trying to write a mini w32 executable to remotely uninstall an application using WMI.

I can list all the installed applications using this code below but i couldnt find a way to uninstall the application remotely thru WMI and C#

I know I can do same using msiexec as a process but I wish to solve this using WMI if its possible...

Thanks, Cem

static void RemoteUninstall(string appname)
{
    ConnectionOptions options = new ConnectionOptions();
    options.Username = "administrator";
    options.Password = "xxx";
    ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope("\\\\192.168.10.111\\root\\cimv2", options);
    scope.Connect();


    ObjectQuery query = new ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Product");

    ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, query);
    ManagementObjectCollection queryCollection = searcher.Get();

    foreach (ManagementObject m in queryCollection)
    {
        // Display the remote computer information

        Console.WriteLine("Name : {0}", m["Name"]);

        if (m["Name"] == appname)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(appname + " found and will be uninstalled... but how");
            //need to uninstall this app...
        }
    }

}
