(I created an uninstaller script using the KACE Un-installer Wizard that removed ONLY a particular version of the program using the entries found in the registry uninstall string with the /VERYSILENT parameter). IMPORTANT NOTE FOR UPGRADES: Versions older than 1.3.x will require separate removal. The only "difficulty" was when this became an upgrade. I zipped the batch file and the two installation executables to upload to the software as inventoried and used the "configure manually" distribution option to simply "audacity.bat" (no quotes), deleting downloaded files. With tips taken from and basic command line, I created a batch file that installs both version 2.0.5 AND LAME mp3 encoding library since this was an upgrade to a version earlier than 1.3.6.
