uninstall user-based program type in SCCM application?

Question

Dear Experts,

We have some applications that are installed by using user-based contexts, this works just fine now. but we need to add the option allowing end users to uninstall it when needed. It seems that SCCM is using system context to manage the install and uninstall options so something like putting "%LocalAppdata%\kingsoft\WPS Office\11.2.0.9747\utility\uninst.exe" to the uninstall field didn't work out.

What can we do with such senario? I don't want to create a separate application or package to handle the uninstall action, it needs to be part of my current application deployment.

Thanks a lot.

Hi, @Eaven HUANG

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Have we checked the limitations for uninstall application?

Some application types don't support uninstallation. If you deploy to a user an application with the Uninstall action, and the application was installed for all users of the computer, the uninstall might fail if the user's account doesn't have permissions to uninstall the application. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/apps/deploy-use/uninstall-applications#behaviors-and-limitations

Have we tried to uninstall it manually with the command in command field to see if it helps?
