Uninstalling Software Silently
I am having an issue with Minitab 17.3.1.0 silent uninstall.I am able to silently install the software with no problems. I have about 88 installs to update to version 18.I can install version 18 silently with no problems. When I try to silently uninstall 17 the status show Not Applicable - Deployment Skipped. When I run the msiexec command right on the test computer it removes the software almost instantly with no UI. I can't figure out what I am missing. Ed
Delete registry value doesn't check if value exists and runs into an error
Hi, I'm deploying a configuration to disable autostarting an application by removing its autostart entry from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. Since I don't know on which machines the autostart is enabled I'm deploying the config to all machnies but on machines without this registry value the config exited with an error "The system can not find the specified file". Which looks like there is no check if the value exists before dc tries to delete it.

copy and replace file using file configuration
I have a file i need to replace on computer that are outside the network. When I use the File Folder Operation (Computer) I do not see any option when copying to replace the file.

Configuring a network printer error
I am trying to configure a new network printer, but am always getting an error "Shared Printer Addition Fails: The Data is Invalid" This used to work. Any ideas what the error means and what data is invalid? It happens with any printer I try to configure (even ones that worked in the past)
Shared Printer Addition Fails : The data is invalid.
I receive several messages for multiple computers that Shared Printer Addition Fails : The data is invalid. It would be nice to know what printer is failing. I tried to open a support ticket but, desktop central is not listed as a product in the ticketing system. Most of the computers should have the printers install all ready if that helps you narrow down the issue. 10.0.189.

No Support from Desktop Central Team
Our Desktop Central Server is not working since yesterday. This is after enabling OTP option within the Server. Noone attends the calls in Desktop Central. Email support is dead slow. We still have a downtime since yesterday evening and looks like noone is able to respond to us. This is the worse support I have ever faced with the product we have used so far.
