I know the add/remove script was a proof of concept, but it was bugging me that
some of the programs wouldn't remove properly. So this code for the button
clicked fixes the problem of programs using the msiexec program in the
\system32 directory. Since there was no absolute path specified in the
registry, the script wasn't properly executing the correct uninstaller. This
block fixes that and also parses out parameters, required for msiexec.
GW, feel free to incorporate this into the main script if you wish.
I can also attach the updated complete script if that's prefered.
If dEvent = buttonClicked Then
Dim shellObj : Set shellObj = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
dim filename: filename =
myApps.Item(dObj.Control("lst_programs").Text(dObj.Control("lst_programs").SelectedItem))
if not instr(filename, "\") then
Dim shell2Obj : set shell2Obj = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Dim windir : windir = shell2Obj.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%windir%")
filename = windir & "\system32\" & filename
Set shell2Obj = Nothing
end if
Dim parms, pos
pos = instr(filename, " ")
If pos > 0 then
parms = mid(filename, pos+1, 999)
filename = mid(filename, 1, pos-1)
End if
shellObj.ShellExecute filename, parms, "", "open", 1
Set shellObj = Nothing
dObj.Close
DialogProc = True
Exit Function
End If
