Do you mean you want to be able to change how the uninstallation gets run for
your installers, or
you just want to be able to get rid of the problematic installers you currently
have installed?
If the latter then you can just can run the MSI with
msiexec /x file.msi PROPERTY=some_value
If you don't have the specific MSI any more, run regedit and take a look at the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall key.
Every installed product
has a key in there. Use a text search for your product to find which one is
yours, and then look
for the UninstallString value. It should be of the form
MsiExec.exe /X{<GUID>}
You can then run
MsiExec.exe /X{<GUID>} PROPERTY=some_value
to uninstall it with the supplied properties.
If you mean you want to change the installation to overwrite these values,
that's more complicated.
You have to specify all the information in the above key yourself. I think
you also have to
specify ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT, but I'm not sure. Hopefully someone else can
correct me.
