Uninstall

You can uninstall from this page or even create an uninstall package in PDQ Deploy (Enterprise mode required to uninstall and PDQ Deploy required to create a package).

WARNING: Uninstalling the Agent from this page does uninstall the Agent from the target computer; however, PDQ Inventory will still display the Agent as Unavailable and all scans will be stuck in a pending state. To remedy this, follow the instructions listed in Uninstalling the Agent.

To uninstall an application from within PDQ Inventory, right-click it, then select Uninstall. This opens the Run Command Window with the uninstall command entered and ready to run. You can also copy the command and execute it in another way, for example using PDQ Deploy.

To create an uninstall package in PDQ Deploy, right-click the application, then select Create Uninstall Package in PDQ Deploy. This launches PDQ Deploy to a new package window with the uninstall command entered. Configure the remainder of the package to your needs and deploy to uninstall.

Note: Many uninstall commands are not made to run silently and will hang if run, as is. If the command contains /qn as part of the MsiExec.exe /qn /X uninstall string, then PDQ Inventory has configured it to run silently. Otherwise you may need to consult the application documentation to find the proper silent options.
