Changes are:
ADDED:
uninstallAppGUID : Uninstall an application by is Identifier.
Usefull when the Add Remove Programname is not unique
MODIFIED:
s_ForceUseCSCript : added variable forceCscriptSilent.
If set to TRUE the script will NOT notify the end user that it is being relaunched
s_ForceUseCSCript : WSHShell.run modified to hidden.
When relaunched the script now doesn't show a cscript window.
