I’m trying to uninstall Internet Explorer 9 due to many different issues. I am having trouble figuring out how to do this.
I found references to this location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Packages
Not sure where to go from here since I cannot find an obvious entry for IE9 in the above reg entry.

This seems to be the command line, says to do it twice:
FORFILES /P %WINDIR%\servicing\Packages /M Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-9..mum /c “cmd /c echo Uninstalling package @fname && start /w pkgmgr /up:@fname /norestart”

pkgmgr /up:; /quiet /norestart
Where the is in the form: name~publickeytoken~processArchitecture~~version

I tried:
wait {system folder as string & “”}pkgmgr /up:Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~9.4.8112.16421 /norestart
And I get “An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format” error from Windows Package Manager.

Seems this is what is needed:
wait {parent folder of system folder as string}\sysnative\pkgmgr /up:Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~9.4.8112.16421 /norestart
Which gives an access denied error, which may not be an issue if run from the system account

Running the command from the system account does not address the “Operation failed with 0x80070005 Access is denied.” error.

I think part of the issue is there are many packages, and the order in which you uninstall them matters.

This seems like the needed actionscript, not sure about other languages other than english, or if there are other packages that could also be installed, or if some of these packages might not be installed.

Still Testing, but here’s what I have so far:
Relevance 1:
((name of it = “WinVista” or name of it = “Win7”) of operating system AND x64 of operating system)
Relevance 2:
exists version of regapp "iexplore.exe"​ AND “9.0” as version = version of regapp "iexplore.exe"​
Relevance 3:
exists files whose (name of it contains “Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer” and name of it contains “9.4.8112.16421”) of folder (parent folder of system folder as string & “\servicing\Packages”)
Action:
wait {parent folder of system folder as string}\sysnative\pkgmgr /up:Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-Package-TopLevel~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~9.4.8112.16421 /quiet /norestart
