Uninstalling programs in this way is not the fastest method available.
Let’s see how we can remove software with a couple of simple commands from DOS. (these commands are also useful when you can’t uninstall a program by using the regular way).
1. Click Start> Run> Cmd
2. In command prompt window, type 'WMIC' and press Enter.
5. Further type 'product get name' .This command will create a list of installed applications on your PC. This list, apart from being useful to know what you have got on your PC, lets you also see the complete name of an application.
6. Now type 'product where name="software name" call uninstall'. Note: You have to write the name of software you wish to uninstall i.e. Microsoft Silverlight
7. Here is complete example of the above command: product where name=”Microsoft Silverlight” call uninstall
8. When prompted just press Y to uninstall the application.
This trick works for Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008.
