I have a corporate work laptop that severely has lack of system admin access.
Many folder option permissions and services/processes are locked for me to control.
For example, once I installed VMware workstation, I can't do anything to update or remove it because dependent services won't stop.
But I got around by booting in safe mode.
But in safe mode, uninstaller and VMware uninstall msi failed to launch.
So I just used Uninstaller's "force removal of all traces" option.
Does it do the same as if I used the regular removal msi?
If not, how do I clear the services, etc?
Thanks.

Uninstall Tool must be run by an administrator. Force removal should be also used under administrator and it should be used when the default uninstall job fails for some reason.

My account is an administrator but with certain restricted rights.
So is what I did a standard way when regular method doesn't work?
I also had to go into regedit to get rid of erased services.

That's when Force Removal should be used. But if you don't have enought rights it won't be much useful I thinkSo is what I did a standard way when regular method doesn't work?
