    Zach got a reaction from Mark G38 in How to not allow end users to uninstall Pulseway Manager   
    You're the best! Thank you for all your help!

    Edited because I'm silly and posted my old version.  Please see the updated and correct one below.

    There are a couple of things you can do here. 
    1.  Don't give regular users Admin rights on a machine.  Of course this may not be a viable option for many businesses/end users. 
    2. Delete the reg key associated with the program displaying in Add/Remove Programs.  
    3. This is my preferred method of choice: Add a new reg key called "SystemComponent" with a dword value of 1 to HKLK:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{3AB4D18D-98B3-41EF-94EA-DA587F282BB1} (or whatever key your Pulseway is in for that last part).  This will hide it from Add/Remove Programs.  So unless the user is more advanced or really determined to find it and remove it, this should stop most normal end users.  Value of 0 makes it appear again.  Very easy to just deploy via script to all machines Pulseway is on. 
     
    I do think that Pulseway should provide an option to password protect the uninstall, but this was brought up years ago and hasn't been provided, so I don't think they plan on it any time soon.Â
