Hey Owen,

You could add the exe to a disallowed program list, which would block it. The disallowed program list is created under Scripting >> Security Policy >> Enforce Disallowed Programs Settings.

If KBOX doesn't know anything about the program it can't block it.

If you know something about it then you could create a custom inventory rule. Something about it could be a file name at a location or a version. After creating a custom inventory rule you could run an uninstall MI. Whenever the app would be detected the uinstall MI would run.

The main challenge is that if the software doesn't show up as a regular app then there's a good chance that it doesn't have an uninstaller you can run silently, but don't rule it out.

If it does not have an uninstaller then youcould do the same logic as above but using scripting instead. A script could check for the existing of a file and then take that as a sign the software is installed and action to remove or cripple the software.

Thanks for the suggestions and guidance. The app does consistently install in the same place in "program files\", so I'll try the uninstall/scripting approach.
