You can use the COMAdmin.COMAdminCatalog object to remove components from a COM+ Application. You can do it through powershell or vbscript.

Here is a powershell example for removing a specific component from a specific application.

PHP

$comCatalog = New-Object -ComObject COMAdmin.COMAdminCatalog
$appColl = $comCatalog.GetCollection("Applications")
$appColl.Populate()

$app = $appColl | where {$_.Name -eq "COMAPPNAME"}
$compColl = $appColl.GetCollection("Components", $app.Key)
$compColl.Populate()

$index = 0
foreach($component in $compColl) {
    if ($component.Name -eq "SOMECOMPONENT.NAME") {
        $compColl.Remove($index)
        $compColl.SaveChanges()
    }
    $index++
}
