What does it take to write Script to uninstall software?

Looking to automate Autodesk software un-installation... to speed it up, and to remove human error with un-installing in a wrong order.

 

What would it take to write a script to uninstall software?... is it difficult?

What does one look like?

Knowing some scripting language like VBScript is needed. Having knowledge about the registry, msiexec.exe command line usage as well as reading the readme, knowledge base or the like for the software in question as you often find valuable info there.

 

See my blog post Automated uninstallation of AutoCAD with VBScript as well as this book The Packager's Pocket Reference that could be a help.
