SOTI Pocket Controller - Silent Uninstall?

Hi All,

We have a subset of older devices that still have what we used (SOTI Pocket Controller) for remote control on our Windows Mobile devices back in the day before we started with Mobi.  Now, I am trying to uninstall that application from a decent bit of devices.  I've been testing a basic uninstall script but the application pops up on the device with a prompt to delete settings from the device and has yes/no answer boxes. These devices are in heavy duty vehicles, so we would like to prevent that pop-up if at all possible.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to do a silent uninstall on WM for this application?  I've just tried the basic uninstall script below so far:

uninstall "SOTI Pocket Controller Enterprise"

Thanks in advance.

Hello Chris,

Thanks for the interesting question!

Yes, Pocket Controller Pro agent app uninstalls in exactly the same way as any other app on Windows Mobile/CE devices: you just go to Settings>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs, find Pocket Controller Pro app and just uninstall it. There is no tricks there.

However, if you would like to automate the uninstall process, if the device is also enrolled to MobiControl instance then you can just send the below script with app name in double quotes.

<uninstall "Exact_application_name_as_it_shows_up_in_Add/Remove Application_on_the_device"> 

That should work as well.

Regards,
