Hi,
I am looking for an option to be able to uninstall/remove an application before uninstalling another one but both have to be uninstalled automatically. The second fails to uninstall unless the first one is uninstalled before.
Kind regards!!
I think this is similar to your other forum post (http://"https://patchmypc.com/forum/index.php?topic=5466.0"). I think you'll need to be looking at a custom pre uninstall script. You could consider this community made script: https://github.com/PatchMyPCTeam/Community-Scripts/blob/main/Uninstall/Pre-Uninstall/Uninstall-Software/Uninstall-Software.ps1
You could attach your custom script as a pre-uninstall script to the app in our catalogue that you do want to uninstall.

Indeed its similar but I thought maybe this question might have given a different result seeing as maybe it was more of a general question now :P Thanks though for all your help already. I will indeed look into that script.
To execute the script, the PC on which patchmypc would execute it, should have executionpolicy bypass right? Or am I wrong about that? Thanks though :)
It doesn't need to have execution policy set to bypass, only if your devices have an execution policy configured where they can only run PowerShell scripts if they're signed by a trusted certificate. More information here:
