Issue with MSI Uninstall using Uninstall-ADTApplication

[robert_walther]

Hello there, I have been attempting to remove any version of Omnissa Horizon Client on a machine, whether it is old or new. Whenever I try to remove it, PSADT will run through the motions and then I get a Windows Installer prompt like you do when running an executable or msi to find the switches such as this:

I am not sure why this is being triggered but here is a snippet of the log from the uninstall:

Here is more detail from the error after it executes the uninstall strings:

[Uninstall] :: Execution failed with exit code [1639]: Invalid command line argument. Consult the Windows Installer SDK for detailed command line help.

In the uninstall section I have the following code:

 ## <Perform Uninstallation tasks here>
    $appName = Get-ADTApplication -Name 'Omnissa Horizon Client' -ApplicationType 'MSI' -FilterScript { $_.Publisher -match 'Omnissa, LLC' }

    if ($appName.count -gt 0) {
        Uninstall-ADTApplication -Name 'Omnissa Horizon Client'  -ApplicationType 'MSI' -ArgumentList '/qb /norestart REBOOT=ReallSuppress'
        }
            else {
            
        Write-ADTLogEntry -Message "$($adtSession.AppName) is not currently installed." -Severity 1
    } 

    ## Remove any Existing version of VMWare Horizion Client

    $appName1 = Get-ADTApplication -Name 'VMWare Horizon Client' -ApplicationType 'MSI' -FilterScript { $_.Publisher -match 'VMWare, Inc.'}

    if ($appName1.count -gt 0) {
        Uninstall-ADTApplication -Name 'VMWare Horizon Client' -ApplicationType 'MSI' -ArgumentList '/qb /norestart REBOOT=ReallSuppress'
               
    }
        else {

            Write-ADTLogEntry -Message "$($adtSession.AppName) is not currently installed." -Severity 1
        }

Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated.

There is a clue in the log you provided:

Execution failed with exit code [1639]: Invalid command line argument. Consult the Windows Installer SDK for detailed command line help.

"Invalid command line argument."
MSIExec is very sensitive to using EXACTLY the right syntax, one mistake and it will throw that 'syntax help' dialog

@robert_walther

REBOOT=ReallSuppress

This typo looks like it might be your issue (N.B. It appears twice in your code, once in appName and once in appName1 sections)
It should read REBOOT=ReallySuppress

Give that a go and let us know

After much trial and error, I have found the issue and cleaned it up. I had the script which I was trying to update open on one too many computers in the directory that SCCM was trying to update. While that file was opened, it was locked and could not update that file with the file lock in place.

Need to better about watching my files opened...
