(GroupWise) uninstall script
A powerful Windows CMD script that query's WMI for MSI package names containing the string stored in variable '__FILTER', then, it performs a silent uninstall of any packages that it finds a match.
I developed it to remove GroupWise Clients (those that utilize MSI) which were installed with all different configurations throughout the enterprise. Most everyone was on GW802.
I am submitting this as a GW removal tool, but really, you could use this code to query any string to uninstall any product.

Now you can also access the Demos and Projects areas.
This post will focus on the Demo Area and what it can do to help you and other users in your organization get off to a great start using Vibe.
