I am trying to trigger the silent uninstall using a powershell script but I keep running into this error when it tries to uninstall.
This is my script line.
Start-Process -FilePath “C:\Program Files\Shotcut\unins000.exe” /SILENT -wait
What if you do not use the command line and silent uninstall?
Search the web for “unins000.dat corrupted” and you will see this is a fairly common problem. You can manually remove the files and app icon. Here is another approach that describes reinstall to same place, uninstall using the new .dat file, and manually cleaning.
P.S. I just tested your command line, and it worked for me. It is not a general problem but rather an anomaly or some unknown cause.
