Uninstall an application using GUID with CM

Hi

We are looking for a way to uninstall an application which is not installed through CM using Product GUID. It's working fine when we run the command locally as following

msiexec.exe /x {Product GUID of the Desktop Client} /QN /L*V "C:\Client-uninstall\desktop-uninstall.log" REBOOT=R

We will create a task sequence to uninstall the product and then restart the PC. Looking for support

Thanks in advance

    We created an package with program "msiexec.exe /x {Product GUID of the Desktop Client} /QN /L*V "C:\Client-uninstall\desktop-uninstall.log" REBOOT=R", but it failed due to the invalid path folder ... it uninstalled from one PC. We are testing with other PC where the application is running..

    Hi @LMS ,

    but it failed due to the invalid path folder.

    Could we know if we specify the data source of package, which the application is located? if not, it maybe something wrong.

    Please refer to this following screenshot:
