title: WMIC "call uninstall" slow
body: <p>Not really a problem, but I would like to find out if I can speed up the uninstall of a product using wmic. There is a program we update frequently which needs to first be uninstalled. To do this remotely, I am running the following command:</p>
  
  <p><strong>wmic product where name= 'fxd Host' call uninstall /nointeractive</strong></p>
  
  <p>which does do the job, but depending on the number of applications installed on the pc, can be quit slow in finding and initiating the uninstal of the chosen application or fxd host in this case. </p>
  
  <p>I would expect wmic to initialize the uninstall of fxd immediately, since that is the exact product name listed from the "wmic product list", but it doesn't. The uninstal operation varies on differnet systems, sometimes taking between 5 and 10 minutes to show progress, and sometimes less than 30 seconds.</p>
  
  <p>Manual uninstallations are quick, so I figure I must be missing something with wmic.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?   </p>
