When Add/Remove Programs shows an entry for a product installed by MSI, it uses the MSI API to uninstall the product, not the UninstallString value. To invoke another setup.exe, you need to write the Uninstall key manually.

[WiX-users] Using UninstallString to uninstall multiple MSIs
Hello all, When Visual Studio is uninstalled or modified it re-invokes setup.exe to guide you through the process. Whenever my application is uninstalled msiexec is invoked on my MSI file. How do I configure the system so that my setup.exe (which is a stub that can launch a number of MSIs) is run when the user chooses to uninstall my application? I've tried changing various UninstallString registry entries but nothing seems to have any effect. Does anyone have any ideas?
