write variable to log file

That didn't work. It kept the script from running entirely. Thanks though.

it seems, %%a is not the key, it's part of the path. Example:

Code: Select all

you can't ask with the "reg query /v" option for parts of a path, this returns always an error.

try this:

Code: Select all

) DO (
REG QUERY HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\%%a /v UninstallString 1>nul 2>nul && (

This is just a suggestion:

Code: Select all

for /L %%b in (0,1,9) do (
   for %%a in (7148F0A8 3248F0A8) do (
      call :Uninstall {%%a-6813-11D6-A77B-00B0D01420%%b0}
   )
   call :Uninstall {26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F832160%%b0FF}
)
for /L %%b in (10,1,16) do (
   for %%a in (7148F0A8 3248F0A8) do (
      call :Uninstall {%%a-6813-11D6-A77B-00B0D0142%%b0}
   )
   call :Uninstall {26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F832160%%bFF}
)
for /L %%b in (17,1,31) do (
   call :Uninstall {26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F832160%%bFF}
)

. . .

:Uninstall
REG QUERY HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\%1 /v UninstallString 1>nul 2>nul
IF %errorlevel% == 0 (
   echo %1 >>c:\temp\JavaUninstall.txt
   start /wait MsiExec.exe /qn /x %1
)
exit /B

Yes, I know this program also check for some keys that are not present in the original list, but this doesn't matter if those versions are not installed.
