    What the heck am I doing wrong?

    Code:
    @echo off

reg query hklm\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Test /f  "UninstallString" /s >>"%temp%\uninst.txt"
reg query hklm\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Test /f  "InstallLocation" /s >>"%temp%\location.txt"

for /f "delims=\ tokens=2" %%a in ('type "%temp%\uninst.txt"') do ("%%a")
for /f "delims=\ tokens=2" %%a in ('type "%temp%\location.txt"') do (rd /s /q "%%a")

    I got it.

    Code:
    @echo off

for /F "Tokens=3*" %%a in ('reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Test /v InstallLocation') do set xpath=%%a %%b
RD /S /Q "%xpath%"
