How to uninstall out-of-browser silverlight 4 application programmatically instead of using the contextmenu (e.g. if I want to replace the context menu)?
Edit
I have found in "Installing Silverlight applications without the browser involved" how to uninstall by calling the command-line:
"%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Silverlight\sllauncher.exe" /uninstall /origin:silverlight.net/content/samples/apps/…
This can be used in:-
dynamic cmd = AutomationFactory.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
cmd.Run(run, 1, true);
Is there any better solution?

I'm not sure you can do this programmatically.
One option is to get the user to use Add/Remove programs to remove it.
Another is to use the silent installation option to remove it ( link - http://mtaulty.com/CommunityServer/blogs/mike_taultys_blog/archive/2010/03/24/silverlight-4-rc-and-the-silent-installation.aspx ) but that involves COM interop calls.
