Uninstall Installed Applications

[Tom_Hall]

Hi - I'm using the 3.6 Android client, to monitor Windows 8 x64 Pcs which are running the 3.6 PC Client

 

(On my phone), when I go into PC Monitor > Installed Applications, several of my applications are not uninstallable - they show as dimmed-out

for example:

 

Adobe AIR & Adobe Flash are not uninstallable, but Adobe Reader (11.0.01), is ok to uninstall 

Other not uninstallables include:

 

Google Chrome 

Microsoft Mouse & Keyboard Center

SureThing CD Lableler

Various Nvidia Drivers (but Nvidia PhysX, is uninstallable)

Realtek Audio

Fences 2

Internet Download Manager

Java Auto Updater

WD Link

HP USB Format Tool

 

Is this a bug, or is there a reason why these can't be uninstalled ?

Tom,

 

This is not a bug. Most likely there is no uninstall info for those apps and we cannot use the msiexec tool to uninstall them quietly from the PC Monitor service.

Hi Marius - Can you explain it in simpler terms please ?

 

if I can "see" the program listed in control panel, and can uninstall it from there, why cant the PC Monitor Service uninstall it?

OK, the disabled items in your list cannot be uninstalled because PC Monitor does not have enough info to perform that action.
