Cannot uninstall Vmware View agent 5.0.0

nikunjd05

Hello,

I am trying to uninstall Vmware View agent 5.0.0 from some of my vdi's but I am unable to.
I am trying the traditional method, Start - Control Panel - Programs and Features. It starts the process and then does a rollback.

I have tried the MicrosoftProgram Install and Uninstall tool, seems like it does uninstall, but when I restart the vdi, it freezes on the 'CRTL+ALT+DEL' screen. Mouse and keyboard are inactive so I have to revert back to the snapshot.

I am able to delete the registry key but not able to delete or rename the View Agent folder.
I have tried to run the MSIexec command but it starts the process and does a rollback.
I have tried the psexec command but gives and error of 1603 which tells me that it is a fatal error but nothing more.

There is no option of buying any tool or software because we are on a budget (state agency).

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

@iroal Thank you.

I was thinking of that, just have to get approval from 2 higher ups to download it.

You can try reinstalling VMware View and then try to uninstall it.

@black3dynamite Already tried that. It would not re-install since there is already a version of View agent installed. It just rolls back.
Thanks.
