Hi guys,

I have deployed a Win32 App from Intune.
The app has been packaged into an intunewin app.
The installation was successful, but the uninstallation is failing with error code " The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002)".
The app was deployed as a user-based app.
The uninstall command is "C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\Programs\softwarenamefolder\Uninstall Softwarename.exe" /currentuser /S

Has anyone faced any similar issues?

    Hello PemaYangden-3875,

    This is because Environment variable expansion (%username%) is not supported in uninstall command.

    Refer to the note under uninstall command from here: https://free.blessedness.top/en-us/intune/intune-service/apps/apps-win32-add#step-2-program

    For your case, try using a custom wrapper script within your win32 package to wrap the command and use this script for the uninstall command.

    Hope this helps!
