Remove-PreviousOfficeInstalls.ps1 - legacy office removal issue #276

Open cptscooby opened 7 years ago

cptscooby commented 7 years ago

We are running the powershell script from a cmd file:

Powershell.exe %~dp0Remove_Office\Remove-PreviousOfficeInstalls.ps1 -Remove2016Installs $true -RemoveClickToRunVersions $True -Force $True -NoReboot $True -Quiet $True -LogFilePath C:\setup\Logs\Remove_Office.log

It removes Office 2016 and Office C2R fine without any issues. When it needs to remove an older version, my exampe is Office 2010, it detects the version fine but it tries to run the OffScrub10.vbs script from C:\Windows\ directory. We are deploying everything via a network script so nothing is local. Any reason why the legacy script would try to launch from the windows directory and not the path it is actually located unlike the 2016 or C2R scripts?

This might be the same as the issue I ran into recently and fixed with #342. It's worth a try if you still need the fix and haven't worked around it. My issue was the script didn't quite work right with PowerShell v2 which the linked PR resolves.
