Like the rest of Office, the Product ID for SfB will be in the XML configuration file you used to install it.

Your quickest option is to search for the word "Skype" in all the XML files beneath the 'root' folder which contains the original set-up executable.

If you are referring to the Skype that is installed directly with Windows 10, product ID for 2016 version should be this: "SkypeforBusinessEntryRetail" or this "SkypeforBusinessRetail" (remove quotes). You can also google for XML file to get the correct ID or check Microsoft's official page for the list of ID's.

  • Hi Josh,

    I tried with that but it won't remove from system
    and this one is installed through Windows Installer setup not through Click to Run setup - niravshah 6 years ago
    • In theory, you could try disabling the skype for business registry, killing all of the processes and not allowing it to launch again. That is as effective as removing it. - JoshRoss 6 years ago
