I am following this thread to uninstall mozilla firefox from my Windows 10 systems.
I have installed mozilla firefox originally with an exe installer and I don't get a mozilla entry executing gwmi -Class Win32_Product.
Is there any way I can trigger the uninstaller for that software on my windows system?
Note: I wont be able to use msi installer for this purpose.
If you run
Get-ChildItem HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ | ? { $_ -match "Firefox" }
It shows the UninstallString as:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe
You should be able to run this to remove Firefox. Use the /s switch to run a silent uninstall.
Something along the lines of:
'"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe /s"' | cmd
Adding modified working code with architecture diff
$x86App = Get-ChildItem 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*' | ? { $_ -match "Firefox" }
$x64App = Get-ChildItem 'HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*' | ? { $_ -match "Firefox" }
if ($x86App)
{
$UninstallPath = ($x86App |Get-ItemProperty).UninstallString
Start-Process -NoNewWindow -FilePath $UninstallPath -ArgumentList " /s"
}
elseif($x64App)
{
$UninstallPath = ($x64App |Get-ItemProperty).UninstallString
Start-Process -NoNewWindow -FilePath $UninstallPath -ArgumentList " /s"
}
