You really haven't given us any information to work with here. What happens when you try it in Windows 10?

Keep in mind Windows 10 UAC is much different than Windows 7. It could be that Windows 10 UAC is set to a level that does not allow that uninstall. Try adjusting the UAC settings on your Windows 10 box to the lowest setting and try again.

Why automate? I do automated testing because there's only so much a human being can do and remain healthy. Sleep is a requirement. So, while people sleep, automation that I create does what I've described above in order to make sure that nothing gets past the final defense of the testing group.
I love good food, good books, good friends, and good fun.
