remoteunist.exe software list does not update after uninstall

[DougMcG]

I am remotely uninstalling a piece of software called Snap from a list of computers which I got from Lansweeper.

I run the remoteuninst.exe computer name and it comes back with a list of software. I then uninstall the software on multiple computers using power shell. In the remoteuninst.exe I disconnect from the computer and then reconnect to it and it still lists the software that was uninstalled.

If I run the power shell cmdlet get-msiproduct -name snap* -computer computername it shows that the uninstall worked and the snap client that I uninstalled is no longer there.

Where is remoteuninst getting the list of software from? Is it the database or directly from the client ?

Why would power shell and Lansweeper come back with different results ?

Thanks,
Douglas

Directly from the client.

Could you verify whether the software package is still listed under Add/Remove Programs, which is what Remote Uninstall tries to replicate. Some software packages may require you to reboot the machine to see the uninstall take effect.
