    Accessing Add/Remove Programs Details

    Hi all,

    I have to uninstall an application and I don't find the uninstaller,
    the option available to me is to access Add/Remove Programs, select the
    application and remove from there.

    I am trying to automate this task using Python:
    1) Get the Application Name
    2) Access the Add/Remove Program details and check if the application
    is present.
    3) If present, then uninstall it.

    I want to understand the Python Win32 modules/calls that would helpful
    to me in this direction. Are there any? I don't want to do it as GUI
    automation using dogtail, as I want to maintain a homogeneous execution
    environment of only CLI.

    Please share your ideas as how I can go about with accessing Add/Remove
    (appwiz.cpl) details in windows using python + python win 32
    extensions.

    Thanks.
    Senthil
