【中文标题】使用 C# 以编程方式卸载软件【英文标题】:Programmatically Uninstall a Software using C# 【发布时间】:2015-07-16 01:44:45 【问题描述】:

我想使用我的代码卸载软件,我已经尝试了 wmic 方法来执行卸载,但它无法在系统中找到我的软件。是否可以在不使用 msi 文件或任何安装文件的情况下进行卸载。我找到了这段代码,但它不起作用---

public string GetUninstallCommandFor(string productDisplayName)

    RegistryKey localMachine = Registry.LocalMachine;
    string productsRoot = @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products";
    RegistryKey products = localMachine.OpenSubKey(productsRoot);
    string[] productFolders = products.GetSubKeyNames();

    foreach (string p in productFolders)
    
        RegistryKey installProperties = products.OpenSubKey(p + @"\InstallProperties");
        if (installProperties != null)
        
            string displayName = (string)installProperties.GetValue("DisplayName");
            if ((displayName != null) && (displayName.Contains(productDisplayName)))
            
                string uninstallCommand = (string)installProperties.GetValue("UninstallString");
                return uninstallCommand;
            
        
    
    return "";

【问题讨论】:

“但它不起作用”是一个无用的问题陈述。 所以你能建议我一个方法来做到这一点...... 这看起来像是 ***.com/questions/334490/uninstall-without-msi-file 的副本。唯一可靠的方法是使用:“msiexec.exe /x your-product-code-guid” 我建议你用“它不起作用”来描述你的意思。 我使用 installshield 创建一个包并静默安装,现在我想静默卸载它,我的问题是,是否可以不使用 msi 文件或安装文件 【参考方案1】:

最可靠的方法是以编程方式执行以下 shell 命令:

msiexec.exe /x PRODUCT-GUID

如果您制作了原始 MSI,您将可以访问您的 PRODUCT-GUID,这就是您所需要的。不需要实际的 MSI 文件,因为 Windows 正是为了这个目的而隐藏了这个文件的副本。

【讨论】:

当然,只需添加/quiet。您还可以通过查看msiexec /? 的结果来探索许多其他选项。【参考方案2】:

试试这个

我们使用以下格式获得一个 ManagementObject 属性:

列出已安装应用程序的完整代码块:

using System.Management
private List<string> ListPrograms()

    List<string> programs = new List<string>();

    try
    
        ManagementObjectSearcher mos = 
          new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_Product");
        foreach (ManagementObject mo in mos.Get())
        
            try
            
                //more properties:
                //http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa394378(v=vs.85).aspx
                programs.Add(mo["Name"].ToString());

            
            catch (Exception ex)
            
                //this program may not have a name property
            
        

        return programs;

    
    catch (Exception ex)
    
        return programs;
    

现在我们有了已安装应用程序的列表,我们应该能够将 [Name] 属性传递给我们的卸载方法。

我们现在需要调用 Win32_Product 方法来“卸载”

这里是卸载应用程序的整个区块,你看后我会详细的。

  private bool UninstallProgram(string ProgramName)
    
        try
        
            ManagementObjectSearcher mos = new ManagementObjectSearcher(
              "SELECT * FROM Win32_Product WHERE Name = '" + ProgramName + "'");
            foreach (ManagementObject mo in mos.Get())
            
                try
                
                    if (mo["Name"].ToString() == ProgramName)
                    
                        object hr = mo.InvokeMethod("Uninstall", null);
                        return (bool)hr;
                    
                
                catch (Exception ex)
                
                    //this program may not have a name property, so an exception will be thrown
                
            

            //was not found...
            return false;

        
        catch (Exception ex)
        
            return false;
        
    

【讨论】:

这是如何“工作”的?我让if(mo["Name"].ToString().Contains("Skype")) object hr = mo.InvokeMethod("Uninstall", null); 从我的机器上卸载 Skype,但即使在代码运行之后,Skype 仍然存在。 遇到与@Ron16 相同的问题。有没有人找到解决方案? Ron16 在哪里可以找到任何解决方案?【参考方案3】:

这是一个老问题,回答可能为时已晚,但无论如何这是我的代码

 public static void UninstallApplication(string uninstallString)
    
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(uninstallString))
        
            throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(uninstallString));
        

        ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();

        int indexofexe = uninstallString.IndexOf(".exe");
        //Check for executable existence 
        if (indexofexe > 0)
        
            uninstallString = uninstallString.Replace(@"""", string.Empty);

            //Get exe path 
            string uninstallerPath = uninstallString.Substring(0, indexofexe + 4);
            startInfo.FileName = uninstallerPath;

            //Check for arguments
            if (uninstallerPath.Length != uninstallString.Length)
            
                string args = uninstallString.Substring(uninstallerPath.Length);
                if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(args))
                

                    /*If not set to false You will get InvalidOperationException :
                     *The Process object must have the UseShellExecute property set to false in order to use environment variables.*/
                    startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;

                    startInfo.Arguments = args;
                
            
        
        //Not tested 
        else
        
            startInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
            startInfo.Arguments = "/c " + uninstallString;
        

        //Start the process
        Process.Start(startInfo).WaitForExit();
    
  

这适用于我的大多数应用程序
