Цытата с одной внутриконторской доки:
1. Use our advanced, high perfomance, accurate uninstall utility:
c:\>del CompanyName.ProductName.*.dll /s
2. We also have a ultra cool installation detection utility to find old versions:
c:\>dir CompanyName.ProductName.*.dll /s
P.S. In a special deal of Microsoft they agreed to include these advanced installation utilities in future versions of windows
