command line uninstall for Alteryx Designer Non-Admin 2022.3.1.450 asking for admin

Hello there.

 

We are using SCCM to deploy Alteryx Designer Non-Admin 2022.3.1.450 to a group of users using Software Center. We use a .VBS script for installation and uninstall.

 

We can get Alteryx Designer Non-Admin 2022.3.1.450 to install and license itself without issue but unfortunatly have run into an issue uninstalling the product as it is asking for admin credentials during uninstall.

 

For our uninstall VBS script we have this:

 

Dim objShell, strProgram

Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
strProgram = """%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Alteryx\bin\AlteryxActivateLicenseKeyCmd.exe"" delete"
objShell.Run strProgram,1,True

strProgram = "AlteryxNonAdminInstallx64_2022.3.1.450.exe -x -s"
objShell.Run strProgram,1,True

Set objShell = Nothing

 

Any ideas on how to uninstall without it asking for admin rights?

 

Thanks in advance!

Upon further investigation.... The admin credentials appear to be triggered when the Non Admin install attempts to uninstall Alteryx Predictive Tools with R 4.1.3 (User) as it gets installed with Alteryx Designer Non-Admin 2022.3.1.450.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!
