Can't install Intune on PC formerly running System Center Endpoint Protection

I have a system which was running Microsoft System Center Endpoint Protection 2012. I want to manage this PC using Windows Intune, so I uninstalled System Center Endpoint Protection and ran Windows_Intune_Setup.exe. Setup fails with the following error:
I have confirmed that SCCM does not appear in the list of installed programs. I also rebooted and tried the install again with the same result. I assume there is some remnant of SCCM that Windows Intune setup is detecting, but I don't know what it is or how to remove it.
Any ideas on how to resolve?
Thank you,
Neil

Only thing I could find was running the following command for uninstall.
ccmsetup /uninstall

Hi Ryan,
That error isn't referring to SCEP, it's referring to the SCCM Client installed on the machine. SCCM and Windows Intune Clients cannot run side-by-side. SCCM Client won't show up in the Add/Remove Programs.
Once you remove SCCM Client as you stated above you should have no issues installing Windows Intune.

Thank you, Jon and Ryan. Running c:\Windows\ccmsetup\ccmsetup.exe /uninstall did the trick!
Notes:
- ccmsetup.exe /uninstall may take 30-60 seconds to and does not provide any indication when it's finished.
- If Windows_Intune_Setup.exe refuses to run due to another pending installation, ccmsetup.exe is still running. Wait a minute or two and try again.
