If you have AD, you might be able to use a script as a startup script
assigned via a GPO, which will run as the local system account, and
not as the logged in user, which is the case for logon scripts. To
test using the script as sytem account (so to see if it uninstalls
cleanly running as that user account), schedule it via the task
scheduler.
