Since you are quoting my forked and significantly modified script here, I don't quite understand why you are addressing mark05e?
Regarding the error in the MSI arguments...
I have now adjusted the corresponding function (HP Wolf Fallback) in my fork, especially since I didn't like having to work with hardcoded GUIDs and blindly trying "msiexec /x {GUID} /qn /norestart" anyway.
The output of the MSI itself is now also logged to "C:\Windows\Temp\HPWolfUninstall_.log". Maybe you would like to try again.
I can't really test it at the moment - due to the lack of a suitable system.
Or jeah... use the version from @andrew-s-taylor linked above.
