Product code

I am trying to automatically uninstall certain applications using the

DOS command line.

 

For MSN Messenger 5.0 I can use the following command:

 

msiexec /x {ABEB838C-A1A7-4C5D-B7E1-8B4314B10138} /quiet /passive /

norestart

 

I am looking for the "product code" (the "ABEB838C-A1A7-4C5D-

B7E1-8B4314B10138" value) for other applications, specifically:

- Outlook Express

- MSN Messenger 4.7

- NetMeeting

 

.... with other apps perhaps in the future. I know there are other ways

to remove these apps using RunDll32 but I would like to try using only

msiexec.

 

Is there a list of these "product codes" available somewhere?

Go look at the uninstall key in the registry to see what the program

itself listed as its proper uninstall string under:

 

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Uninstall
