2011: How to perform an automated uninstallation of AutoCAD

Issue

Solution

The provided VBScript will detect and uninstall 32-bit or 64-bit versions of English AutoCAD 2011 and language pack.  It will also provide the option to uninstall the following plug-ins (if found):

• AutoCAD 2011 Subscription Advantage Pack
• AutoCAD WS plug-in for AutoCAD 2011
• AutoCAD 2011 VBA Enabler

If you have multiple AutoCAD 2011-based products installed, these modules may be in use by more than just AutoCAD 2011.  Do not uninstall them if they could be in use elsewhere.

The VBScript will then remove folders and registry keys related to the uninstalled product and plug-ins.
