CutePDF uninstall action does not work

1

Hey everyone,

So having an issue with Update CutePDF Writer v4.0.1 - Windows (x64) fixlet (ID#2400101) in which the action doesn’t uninstall version 3.x

here’s the action

// Download:
prefetch CuteWriter.exe sha1:09536c4652e9af34ef91d675991cddb749dc57ec size:6233072 https://www.cutepdf.com/download/CuteWriter.exe sha256:72561349751266c51f2d48b6dd42f94148a90f4c678de0f5db9f5ae431e12649

// Uninstall previous version, if applicable:
if { exists files whose(name of it as lowercase starts with “uninst” AND name of it as lowercase ends with “.exe”) of (folders it) of (it as string as trimmed string) of values “InstallLocation” of keys whose(value “DisplayName” of it as string starts with “CutePDF Writer”) of keys “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall” of (x32 registries; x64 registries) }

override wait
hidden=true
completion=job
wait “{ unique value of pathnames of files whose(name of it as lowercase starts with “uninst” AND name of it as lowercase ends with “.exe”) of (folders it) of (it as string as trimmed string) of values “InstallLocation” of keys whose(value “DisplayName” of it as string starts with “CutePDF Writer”) of keys “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall” of (x32 registries; x64 registries) }” /uninstall /s

endif

// Install:
override wait
hidden=true
completion=job
wait __Download\CuteWriter.exe /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /SP- /FORCECLOSEAPPLICATIONS /MERGETASKS=“!desktopicon”
// End

I did some online searching and it seems that developers removed the silent uninstall option so there’s no way to remove the application this way. Is this known within bigfix community and is there a workaround?

Thanks
