  • Do you know how these apps have been installed? Like same PDQ instance, manually, other deployment tool...?

    Its more a guess out of the blue, but it might be your deployment-user lacks permissions?

  • Thanks for the response. We've used PDQ Inv/Deploy for years.  I cloned the deployment user as a test, RDP'd and removed one by hand with no issue. So, it's probably not that. I opened a ticket with support. Working through the process that way. If we ever figure it out, I'll post that answer here for the next person.

  • Cory figured it out.

    For the next person - Java 6 u45 had a different GUID than what the installers were trying to remove

    Cory gave me the fix and it worked perfectly. Just edited the uninstall package and added it to the 32-bit section, 

    MsiExec.exe /qn /norestart /X{26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F83216045F0}
