That service does not appear under service group, it is independent service
that runs.
Is there a way to call this in silent mode: batch or vb:

something like this:

With CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
.Run "c:\program*\network*\common*\frminst.exe /forceuninstall " _
End With

this does not work says cannot find the specified.

Thanks for your help in advance

use...

With CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
.Run "c:\progra~1\networ~1\common~1\frminst.exe /forceuninstall " _
End With

although you need to make sure this dos path is correct

Hi,

If you want to use the * method, you will need to use cmd.exe, like this:

.Run "%comspec% /c c:\program*\network*\common*\frminst.exe /forceuninstall"

If you want to hide the command prompt that pops up, and/or you want to
wait for the commend to finish, add ,0 ,True at the end, like this:


... common*\frminst.exe /forceuninstall", 0, True

(0 to hide, True to wait)
