We have about 350 computers that have different versions of flash installed. I have downloaded the unisntall files from here, created a deployment to the computers. However, it doesn't seem to be unisntalling the program. 

 

I have both Windows 7 and various versions of Windows 10 that I need to remove this from. Is there a better script and specific flag that I need to set in my software when i deploy to these machines?

I am using Desktop Central for my software deployments.

Silent mode information is in the Admin Guide section I referred to in the previous post.  Please read through the Admin Guide for information on accomplishing what you are attempting to do.
