Removing old EMET trouble

We need to install the new EMET on est 500 end workstations. They already have version 3.0 installed. The problem EMET 3 is still remaining there after I done installed the new version 4.1 update or 5. I tried it manual install and also from SCCM. How do I rid of version 3.0 completely using SCCM?

It is looking bad that two EMETs are showing in the add/remove programs area. Sometimes two sys trays show up at the notification area too.

I tried with both application and package options using the msi uninstall string with version number as the detection.

Please help as soon as you can!!!

Thanks

Hello Mecoy,

If you are using the SCCM 2012, you can use ofr your applications, not packages, the option Application Supersedence.

With this option you can see in the image above, the new application can supercede the olt one, and you can have the option to uninstall the old one, remember, this option only applies to Application, and not packages.

More information about Software Supercedence here:

I hope it can help!

Hi Renato,

I tried with Supersedence selection but the new version installed fine but the old 3.0 is still left there. I think old one was deployed manually years ago without SCCM or other tools. I really need to remove that EMET 3.0.0 on those workstations.

Thanks
