This is a script to uninstall "FlexNet Software Updates" or "Macrovision Software Updates" who comme whith some DELL computers and various vendor softwares.
See http://www.flexerasoftware.com/products/flexnet-connect.htm for details
Unfortunalty this tool is not removable from "Add/remove program" but Flexera/Installshield distribute an uninstaller file here
If you need to reinstall later you can download the update manager from here
Please note than this wpkg installer is a bit tricky because he did not install but remove a programm with the <install> tag.
In my case i have created a few unistaller like this one, mostly to get rid of unwanted softwares like brownser bars or old
softwares installed before my use of wpkg..
The package file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- Uninstall Macrovision & FlexNet Software Updates -->
<packages>
<package id="uninstall_flexnet_software_updates" name="Uninstall FlexNet Software Updates" revision="%PKG_VERSION%" reboot="false" priority="50">
<variable name="PKG_VERSION" value="1" />
<check type='logical' condition='not' >
<check type="file" condition="exists" path="%PROGRAMFILES%\Fichiers communs\InstallShield\UpdateService\ISUSPM.exe" />
</check>
<!-- remove the service and the control panel -->
<install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\installshield\SoftwareManagerUninstall.exe" /s /f1"%SOFTWARE%\installshield\setup.iss" /f2x' />
<!-- delete the folder -->
<install cmd='%COMSPEC% /C if exist "%PROGRAMFILES%\Fichiers communs\InstallShield\UpdateService\" rmdir /S /Q "%PROGRAMFILES%\Fichiers communs\InstallShield\UpdateService\"' />
</package>
</packages>
This package use a setup.iss file generated by the InstallShield /r option. This file is used by the silent install (/s option) and set with the /f1 option. /f2x option is used with a "x"to say that we do not want a log file.
Basicaly the setup.iss file say "Yes" to unsinstall.
The setup.iss file
