Log in as an administrator on the customer's Windows computer. Since the DameWare Mini Remote application and Client Agent services do not appear in Add / Remove Programs or Programs and Features when installed by a remote administrator, you will have to manually uninstall the services and files. All DameWare applications work on Microsoft Windows NT with service pack 1 or higher.

#DAMEWARE MINI REMOTE CONTROL REMOVAL INSTALL#
So I gave up and re-wrote our deployment scripts:ġ.) Used only on fresh/new/virgin machines to install the DWRCService (so in this scenario I don't need to worry about uninstalling any previous versions because it's a recently wiped/imaged machine)Ģ.) Upgrading the DWRC Host package 7.5 to 9.0.

I wish they'd be more transparent/document how to achieve this. So SOMEHOW Dameware is able to overwrite those files even though I can't do it manually. and when that machine eventually reboots, the. If I have a machine that has DWRCS 7.5 and I push DWRCS 9.0 to it.
I tried quite a few variations of the following: I spent a lot of time on this and not gonna waste anymore.
#DAMEWARE MINI REMOTE CONTROL REMOVAL UPGRADE#
In a perfect world, I'd like to have a good silent upgrade script that works painlessly/smoothly for the coworkers in my Dept to get them all upgraded to Dameware 9.0. I don't see anything helpful on the Dameware forums (unless I idiotically missed something, which is possible). which results in crashing/restarting of Explorer. but the install process needs to overwrite the DWRCSH.dll file. Tried simply installing Dameware 9.0 over the top of 7.5. which results in Explorer (desktop) crashing and restarting. Tried a scripted uninstall with an additional command to forcibly remove the C:\Windows\DWRCS\ folder. but it leaves the aforementioned Folder and also leaves the aforementioned file. Typical (non-scripted) uninstall by going through Add/Remove programs successfully uninstalls Dameware 7.5. and I can't seem to find a way to gracefully remove it without crashing Explorer.EXE
The file C:\Windows\DWRCS\dwrcsh.dll is a component of Dameware that hooks into the Explorer Shell. however I've hit a snag that I can't seem to overcome. I'm about 99% done writing a script that upgrades Dameware 7.5 to 9.0. posting this question here because I bet you guys/gals are more familiar with Dameware than some of the other forums.
