Abstract
A computer-implemented method for remediating a defective uninstaller during an upgrade of a product is described. A system is queried to identify the defective uninstaller. An executable application is streamed to a file in a temporary folder. The executable application is separate from the defective uninstaller. An internal database table is queried to generate a script file containing commands used to modify the defective uninstaller. The script file is executed with the executable application to modify the defective uninstaller.
