Isn't it what the ContinueOnError attribute is there for? I have
searched through this mail archive and I can see that people often put
ContinueOnError=yes for uninstall SQL strings. This sounds quite
logical: don't interrupt the uninstall, and let the admin to manually
drop the broken references in SQL Management studio afterwards.

The solution I posted is not without problems. The issue is that the

Passing them through public properties on the command line is not the
safest way to go. The uninstall should be designed in a way that it
does not fail when it can't connect to SQL, offfering the

a manual way to drop the database or whatever.
Right. My point is, though it's possible to disable obvious entry
points, it's impossible to prevent them all. Be careful out there.g
