I took the uninstallation script from [http://syncro.staged-by-discourse.com/t/install-a-syncro-agent-on-a-device/1597](http://syncro.staged-by-discourse.com/t/install-a-syncro-agent-on-a-device/1597) and quickly used PowerShell to create something similar. Could use more polish but this is a start.

```auto
#Requires -RunAsAdministrator

$currentPrincipal = New-Object Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal([Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent())
if ($currentPrincipal.IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole]::Administrator) -eq $false) {
    Write-Error "Please run me as Administrator!"
    exit 1
}

function uninstallerMSI {
  Write-Host "--"
  Write-Host "-- Removing MSI --"
  Write-Host "--"
  $productId = "{B7F56D3D-2AD3-4021-9D36-3B9E9C9FBE33}"
  Start-Process "MsiExec" -ArgumentList "/x $($productId) /qn /norestart UNINSTALL_CODE=$($env:uninstall_code)" -Wait
  Start-Sleep -Seconds 1
  Remove-Item -Recurse -Force -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\$($productId)"
  Remove-Item -Recurse -Force -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\D3D65F7B3DA21204D963B3E9C9F9EB33"
}

function stopProcesses {
    param ($name)
    Write-Host "Stopping Processes"
    Stop-Process -Name "$($name).App.Runner.exe" -Force

    Stop-Process -Name "$($name).Overmind.Service.exe" -Force
    Start-Sleep -Seconds 1
}

function removeLeftovers {
    param ($name)
    if ($name -like "Syncro" -or $name -like "Kabuto") {
        Write-Host "--"
        Write-Host "-- Removing $name --"
        Write-Host "--"
        removeServices $name
        Start-Sleep -Seconds 2

        removeRegestry $name
    }
}

Well, this is exciting. I tried to do this myself at one point but got distracted and never went back to it. I will look at this further. Thank you for your work on this!
