[wpkg-users] Remove Windows Apps

[Ronnie Carlos Tavares Nunes]

Hi,

I'm trying do run a package that disable some apps from Windows 10. So
I'm using this:

   <install cmd='powershell -noninteractive Get-AppxPackage -allusers
*windowsalarms* | Remove-AppxPackage' />

When I run it manually, in the command line with administrative
privileges its ok. On Wpkg, it executes with no errors but the Apps are
not uninstalled.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Ronnie.

I think you also need to use the -ExecutionPolicy command line switch
and especially the -Command switch to overcome some limitations that
PowerShell is exposing.
In addition I would try to run it inside of a command prompt by using:
cmd="%ComSpec% /c powershell ...".

Hi Ronnie,

IS UAC active? If so, try to disable UAC and retry.

Kind regards

Mike

Escape the pipe character for the shell:

<install cmd='powershell -noninteractive Get-AppxPackage -allusers
*windowsalarms* ^| Remove-AppxPackage' />

If you can successfully run it in the command prompt, then also use a
command prompt with WPKG.

<install cmd='%ComSpec% /c "powershell -noninteractive Get-AppxPackage
-allusers *windowsalarms* ^| Remove-AppxPackage"' />

If you are running WPKG from a server share you must also allow external
sources, see the -ExecutionPolicy command line switch for powershell.

Hi Ronnie,

>> <install cmd='powershell -noninteractive Get-AppxPackage -allusers
>> *windowsalarms* | Remove-AppxPackage' />

Are you sure that the pipe isn't been interpreted by the underlying
cmd.exe process and is being seen by powershell when called from
within a wpkg package? One alternative might be to put the command in
a powershell script and call that from within your package - eg:

<install cmd='PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File
%software%\remove-windows-alarms.ps1' />

(There might be cleaner ways of achieving this).
I hope that helps,
Andy Smith
