Wendy,
Most of the time, the uninstall runs correctly. Sometimes they don't.
Again, the script just calls the uninstall string in the registry, and
the rest is up to the uninstall program. The script itself has no
control over the actual program installation.

Thanks for the explanation, but I have a question, if you say that
programs cannot be removed with this script why is this line in the help
information of the script?
To run the uninstall program associated with a selected item, select the
Remove button.

Subject: Re: Add remove script problem
The Add/Remove script was really just a proof of concept, so there may
be issues. All it does is read in the uninstall keys in the registry,
and then populates a list box with the results. There are no uninstall
checks or anything like that to verify that an application can be
uninstalled. It just calls the string in the uninstall key to begin
the installation. As this is a GW Micro script, it is free to modify
and re-distribute, so if someone wants to beef it up, they're welcome
to it.

Hello to the list,
I have the add remove script installed and when I activate the script
with alt control a the list box comes up fine. The problem comes in
when I try to remove a program. I get error messages that the
program cannot be removed or that windows can't find the file. Is
this supposed to work when you use this script? When I go to add
remove programs in control panel it works just fine. If this is an
issue with the script I hope it can be resolved as it is an easy way
to remove programs.
