Script to remove a specific item from Outlook's Add-In Manager
Hello everyone, I've been tasked to upgrade Symantec Antivirus 10.0 to Symantec Endpoint Protection. I would like to create a script to so that when the install completes users will not get the error message: The add-in "C:\Program Files\Symantec Antivirus\vpmsece4.dll" could not be installed or loaded. This problem may be resolved by using Detect and Repair on the Help menu.
I know this error message occurs because uninstalling SAV will leave the hook in Outlook and it has to manually be removed. But if someone knows of a script that can be applied to remove that add-in it would be much appreciated as this has to be done to 30 machines inside of a 2000+ domain.

Make sure Outlook isn't running before uninstalling SAV. You'll also want to make sure MigrateSettings=0 in the setaid.ini file of the SEP package.

Here the skinny of it...I've successfully upgraded a few machines just by running the installer for SEP and everything works fine except that pesky error message and the manual removal of the SAV Add-in for Outlook. Would setting the MigrateSetting=0 stop that from happening?

...also Outlook was closed but still got the error message upon launch of Outlook
