Need an Adobe Reader XI (11.0) silent uninstaller
I have used in the past wmic.exe product where "name like 'Adobe Reader%'" call uninstall. Wmic seems to no longer work with this latest version and KBOX doesn't show an uninstall command either. Not sure if this is a result of using the Adobe Customization Wizard XI or not.

Apparently I haven't been very patient these days!
Eventually the wmic trick worked... 2 hours later. And msiexec /x {AC76BA80-0011-7AD7-0000-000000000000} /qn works too.
The WMIC trick is what I use most often. You can get the same GUID by going to the uninstall section of the registry.
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall)
Click down through the list of GUIDs and you can find the program faster than the WMIC command.
Then its easy from there. Just run msiexec.exe /X{GUIDGOESHERE} /qn

Hello,
Yes, using the Adobe customization Wizard is most likley the reason why there is not an install command showing in the K1000. As far as the uninstall is concerned I use the same command you used earlier to uninstall.
