v3.6.8 Uninstall section not running office 2016 clean up script

Hi

I’m having an issue with PSAppdeploytoolkit v3.6.8 uninstall section.
I’ve created a PSAD wrapper for installing Office 2016 from MSI.
I have included the OffScrub_O15msi.vbs and OffScrub_016msi.vbs scripts in the supportfiles folder.
It installs Office successfully and is running the OffScrub_015msi.vbs and removing Office 2013 before it installs Office 2016.

However when I launch Deploy-Application.exe uninstall it claims to run the script successfully but nothing is removed. If I manually run the OffScrub_016msi.vbs with the same options it does remove Office successfully.

This is the uninstall section of my Deploy-Application.ps1 file.

##*=============================================== ##* UNINSTALLATION ##*=============================================== [string]$installPhase = 'Uninstallation'

	If ($useDefaultMsi) {
		[hashtable]$ExecuteDefaultMSISplat =  @{ Action = 'Uninstall'; Path = $defaultMsiFile }; If ($defaultMstFile) { $ExecuteDefaultMSISplat.Add('Transform', $defaultMstFile) }
		Execute-MSI @ExecuteDefaultMSISplat
	}

    ForEach ($officeExecutable in $officeExecutables) {
	    If (Test-Path (Join-Path $dirOffice "Office16\$officeExecutable")) { 
		    Write-Log "Microsoft Office 2016 was detected. Will be uninstalled."

		    Break
	    }
    }

Any help much appreciated as I’m going a little crazy looking at this.

See below from the log file which says the exit code from OffScrub_016msi.vbs is 0.

hmmm still can’t make it work as I think it should, I’ve tried downloading a new copy of the toolkit as somebody else suggested in another thread with a similar but not the same unistall issue but that didn’t work.

However I’ve found a workaround for it.
If I execute a CMD process it can call the VB OffScrub script ok.

Execute-Process -FilePath "CMD.Exe" -Arguments "/c cscript.exe "$dirSupportFiles\OffScrub_O16msi.vbs" ClientAll /S /Q /NoCancel" -WindowStyle Hidden -IgnoreExitCodes "1,2,3"

I’d love to know why the toolkit can’t execute the cscript.exe process correctly during uninstall but works fine during preinstall section. But at least it’s working with the CMD.exe process calling cscript.
