RE: Uninstall all previous versions of projectwise?

I discovered a very easy way to uninstall any version of projectwise. Since the .exe's are just calling a bunch of .msi installers, all of the uninstall strings are located on the computer and realatively easy to find with powershell. The script I wrote is:

$programs = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "Projectwise *" -or $_.Vendor -like "Bentley *" }
foreach($program in $programs){
$program.Uninstall()
}

This iterates over the list of found installed programs that match the search conditions ( a name that starts with projectwise or a vendor that starts with bentley) and uninstalls them. This version will also uninstall microstation and most of the pre/post reqs that come with it. Hope this helps someone out there.

It is best to uninstall all products through program /features or add/remove programs ( depending on the OS). Otherwise this is something that you would have to create we do not have a delivered script or exe .
