Issue:
You need a method to extract the uninstall strings to uninstall multiple products from a machine.
Solution:
Since Version 2014 Autodesk provides uninstall scripts within the Admin Image Folder.
Open the ImageName_Uninstall.txt with a Notepad and remove the comments by deleting the "::" characters at the beginning of the "::call :funcUninstall" command line for each product that you want to uninstall. Save the file as a batch file and execute with at least admin privileges.
For Example, to remove Autodesk Material Library Base Resolution Image Library 2018 :: has been removed in front to uncomment:
::========================================================================================
::Uncomment (by removing the ::) the command lines below to uninstall products
::========================================================================================
::::== Autodesk Material Library 2018
::call :funcUninstall {7847611E-92E9-4917-B395-71C91D523104}, "Autodesk Material Library 2018"
::::== Autodesk Material Library Base Resolution Image Library 2018
call :funcUninstall {FCDED119-A969-4E48-8A32-D21AD6B03253}, "Autodesk Material Library Base Resolution Image Library 2018"
Alternative:
For Autodesk Software prior 2014 Versions you could use a powershell script to extract the uninstall strings out of the registry needed to remove the package.
In the example below, all Software with Display Name Autodesk will be shown and could be extracted to batch file:
Get-ChildItem -Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall, HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -match "Autodesk" } | Select-Object -Property DisplayName, UninstallString
