One of the most tedious tasks a System Administrator or Information Security Analyst faces is locating the proper uninstaller to remove unauthorized or vulnerable application software package from a remote client machine.
The Command line command REG QUERY is your friend.
Open a command prompt with administrator level access and enter the following command:
REG QUERY \\RemoteMachineName\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall /s
This command returns all uninstaller information listed
REG QUERY \\RemoteMachineName\HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall /s
This command returns all uninstaller information listed under the WOW6432Node section
Review the information from these two commands, and locate the uninstaller required.
