  Hello 

  I have been asked to put together a script to uninstall an application and install another application (this will be deployed through SCCM). Pleased to report I managed to get the script working. 

  Basically, the script needs to stop two processers before uninstalling the application -

  Needs to temporary stop explorer (application needs to remove a folder from the user's library)

  We then uninstall the application, then installs the new application 

  This all works (amazingly) 

  the issue I have is when I restart explorer.exe - I get a command prompt called explorer.exe 

  I have checked my Shell environment and it points to explorer (in the registry) 

  Same on any computer I run the script on 

  @echo off
  setlocal
  set Installpath=%~dp0
  
  :start
  tasklist|find "BoxSync.exe"
  goto found
  :found
  taskkill /f /im BoxSync.exe
  
  goto BoxMonitor
  
  :BoxMonitor
  tasklist|find "BoxSyncMonitor.exe"
  goto found
  
  :found
  taskkill /f /im BoxSyncMonitor.exe
  
  goto explorer
  
  :explorer
  taskkill /F /IM "explorer.exe"
  MsiExec.exe /X{CD5CB679-159B-4E4C-B847-B29B492D106E} /quiet
  
  %Installpath%BoxSyncSetup.exe /uninstall /quiet
  del C:\Users\%userProfile%\Box Sync
  
  %Box-x64.msi /quiet
  
  start "explorer.exe"
  start "BOX.exe"
