Hi Suprith

 

Is there a reason you are using package builder to remove winzip?  i would suggested checking the MSI uninstall string in the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall).

 

"msiexec /x" to uninstall

 

"/qn" to make it silent

I see what you mean - you have already deployed WinZip using a package made with Package Builder?

 

Does the package show up in Add/Remove Programs in Windows Control Panel?

In which case, navigate to the registry path above as advised, and find the uninstall string that relates to that application.  The will give you the exact command (usually) to run to remove the application.

You can also get the uninstall information from appdeploy.com.

 

For instance, here is one for WinZip 11.2.
