Remove App Using Powershell

I have the following powershell script, but the result returned is always 1603 even when running with elevated rights, as administrator.

 $app = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product -Filter "Name = 'Microsoft Visio Standard 2013'" if ($app) { echo $app $app.Uninstall() }

Error returned:
