Dealing with UnTrusted Drivers

http://www.migee.com/2010/09/24/solution-for-unattendedsilent-installs-and-would-you-like-to-install-this-device-software/

The solution is quite simple. Using a VM or a system for testing, install the software and check off "Always Trust software from [Publisher]". What this does is place a certificate in the local computers certificate store that will rid future installs from Novell of this dialogue. What we do then, is export the certificate and put it into your install script. Follow the below to conquer this problem:

  1. In your test environment, install the program fully and be sure to click 'Always trust software from [Publisher]
  2. Run certmgr.msc and navigate to Trusted Publishers then Certificates
  3. The certificate from the publisher will show up there. Right click and click All Tasks -> Export. Save the file.

You now have the certificate from the test environment. You need to import this to the computers being deployed to prior to the install. Simply run the following command in your install script before the program install:

certutil -addstore "TrustedPublisher" MyCertificate.cer

Uninstalling Things

Uninstall an MSI based Program

echo Attempting to uninstall Endnote X6
MsiExec.exe /x{86B3F2D6-AC2B-0016-8AE1-F2F77F781B0C} /qn

You can find this code in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

Running an Uninstall.exe from an Unknown folder

FOR /D %%G in ("c:\Program Files\R\*") Do "%%G\unins000.exe" /SILENT
FOR /D %%G in ("c:\Program Files (X86)\R\*") Do "%%G\unins000.exe" /SILENT

Deleting a folder with a wildcard

for /D %%f in ("c:\Program Files\Inkscape"*) do rd "%%f" /s /q

Cleanup
Delete Desktop Shortcuts

FOR /D %%G in ("c:\Users\*") Do del "%%G\Desktop\EditPad Lite 7.lnk"

If you know the location of the shortcut, you can do the following:

del /F /Q "yourpathhere"

i.e. del /F /Q "c:\Users\Public\Desktop\Evernote.lnk"

Copying Start Menu Shortcuts

mkdir "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\NotepadPlusPlus"

xcopy "startmenu\notepad++.lnk" "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\NotepadPlusPlus" /e /c /i /h /r /y /z
