I need to uninstall a package that is not finding the correct software registry key. I want to override the package parameter for 'softwareName'. Here is the command I'm using:
choco uninstall -d newforma --override --params '/softwareName:Newforma*'
Here is the output of the debug:

Thanks for you help in advance.
The --Override argument is only for use with the installargs parameter.
It can't be used to override the softwareName being passed in to, e.g., Uninstall-ChocolateyPackage (or further down, Get-UninstallRegistryKey).
You'll need to modify your uninstall script to say newforma* instead of newforma12.1*.
