Citrix VDA Uninstall - citrix

I have to upgrade Citrix 7.15 to Citrix vda 1912 and there over 600 machines I have to upgrade.
When I push the uninstaller to a bunch of machine in desktop central it will uninstall again when I sign in as my admin account.
SO if I push the uninstaller -> then push the installer it will work however my main issue is that when I sign in that pc as my admin account the uninstaller will run again.
is there a way to fully uninstall via without signing in multiple times? and if not is there a bat script or power shell script that can sign me in another machine?
we use window 10

Citrix Workspace can't add account after reinstall

I had Citrix Workspace in my computer and it was good.
Later I installed Citrix Receiver. This installation deleted automaticaly my Citrix Workspace.
I tried to add an account with Citrix Receiver like I did with Citrix Workspace. But that didn't worked.
I uninstalled Citrix Receiver and I reinstalled Citrix Workspace. Or the reinstallation of Citrix Workspace deleted automaticaly Citrix Receiver.
But now Citrix Workspace too can't add an account.
To add an account I am using the same adress (probably of the server) I used in Citrix Workspace (before the installation of Citrix Receiver).
Why now I can't add an account please ?
OS : Windows 10
The problem is probably due to the installation of Citrix Receiver or due to the reinstallation of Citrix Workspace.
Thank you
it is resolved, I think I download a corrupted version.

Python 3.7.2 Windows x86 executable installer does not allow single user installation

I am trying to install latest Python (3.7.3) on a couple of Windows 10 PCs without admin privileges. For this purpose I downloaded the corresponding executable installer from download link.
When executing the installer, some of the Windows PCs show the Install launcher for all users (recommended) option force checked. I can't proceed with the installation since I'm asked for admin privileges even though Python is to be installed on a user directory with reading and writing permissions.
Why is the Install launcher for all users (recommended) option force checked? Could it have something to do with existing launcher installations? Is there any way around?
Not sure why, but once I uninstalled existing Python Launcher I was able to uncheck the Install launcher for all users option and install Python without admin privileges.

Upgrade ClickOnce Application using Windows Installer. Is this possible?

Few machines have 'MyApp.exe' installed using ClickOnce. And I have created a new MSI Windows Installer for 'MyApp.exe' using MS Visual Studio 2013 Setup and Deployment. I have a requirement that when my new MSI Installer runs it has to automatically remove/uninstall all previous 'MyApp.exe' (installed using ClickOnce) and install the new exe. Installer has to do it as part of its installation process.
Is this even possible? ClickOnce doesn't make any registry entries, so how can I get the Upgrade codes/Product codes which I can feed to Windows Installed 'Upgrade Paths' to upgrade it. ClickOnce is per user installation, but Windows Installer is not.
Is it even possible for Windows Installer to uninstall ClickOnce installed application ?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
ClickOnce is a per-user deployment experience and MSI is usually a per-machine experience. Per machine can't clean up other people's profiles. The only way I know is to do an active setup trick to run a program for each user who logs on and then execute a script to do cleanup. Either that or put first-run code in the applicaton itself to do the same.

PowerShell 3.0 Installation Error on Windows 7 SP1

I have been trying for a couple days to get Windows Management Framework 3.0 to install on my Windows 7 Enterprise, SP1 desktop machine. The installation seems to go fine, and at the end it requests a reboot as it should. After the reboot, it says installation has failed and rolls everything back out.
In the System Setup Logs it shows the following error:
Package KB2506143 failed to be changed to the Installed state. Status: 0x80070005.
I definitely meet the pre-requisites. I have uninstalled .NET 4.5 and 4.0 and re-installed both, with reboots in between. It always comes back with that same error.
Any ideas?
Make sure you run the installation as Administrator. It's not sufficient to be logged on with an account that has local admin privileges; you need to select Run as administrator from the context menu, or run it from an elevated command prompt. I ran into that error the first time I tried to install Management Framework 3.0 by just double-clicking the downloaded .exe file. It worked when I launched it from an elevated prompt (Run as administrator would have the same effect).
For me the problem was the .Net Framework WoW64 features were missing. More specifically mscoree.dll couldn't be found. Installing the NetFx2-ServerCore-WoW64 & NetFx3-ServerCore-WoW64 features fixed the problem for me.

Backup data files in LocalState folder before uninstall Windows Store apps

I've developed a Windows Store apps and save some data in SQLite, and the data file is in LocalState folder.
I know for the OS policy when I uninstall the app from windows, the appdata folder will delete automatically.
My question is
1. Is there any idea to deny user uninstall some specified Windows Store apps that I developed from windows?
If I can do it, I think can develop a Windows Program to install & uninstall Windows Store apps by using Powershell, and I can backup the LocalState data by C# code.
2. If No.1 is impossible, can I catch the uninstall action from Windows?
I think I can develop a Windows Service and set it to Auto Run when windows startup, and if I can catch the uninstall action from Windows by using the Windows Service that I developed, I can backup the data by C# code in Windows Service.
Is there anybody who can help me out?
Thanks.
