2006 network deployment that uninstalls 2005

[Anonymous]

I'm getting ready to set up my network image of ADT 2006. Right now
everyone has ADT 2005 on their machines. Is there a way to have the ADT
2005 uninstall when we run the deployment at each machine? Can there be a
script that fist uninstalls '05 then installs '06 from the server image?

Thanks,

Look in the registry at this location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Search for the ADT 2005 uninstall location and maybe the Express Tools as
well.
In my case I found 5783F2D7-0304-0409-0002-0060B0CE6BBA
Use this and create a VBScript (a text file with VBS extension) like these
three rows below:
on error resume next
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "msiexec /x {5783F2D7-0304-0409-0002-0060B0CE6BBA} /q",1,true

After that you can add the deployment of 2006 as well.
