I have a little tool that I created to take care of finding the proper product
codes. Below you can find the vast majority of it. Adjust as needed, of course!
StringBuilder sbProductCode = new StringBuilder(39);
int index = 0;
StreamWriter sw;
sw = File.CreateText("ForceMsiRemoval.bat");
while (MsiEnumProducts(index++, sbProductCode) == 0)
{
int returnValue;
Int32 length = 640000;
StringBuilder productName = new StringBuilder(length);
returnValue = MsiGetProductInfo(sbProductCode.ToString(),
"ProductName", productName, ref length);
if (productName.ToString().Contains("Product Name"))
{
sw.WriteLine("rem " + productName.ToString());
sw.WriteLine("msizap.exe TW! " + sbProductCode.ToString());
}
}
sw.Close();
This code will give you a .bat file that will automatically call msizap.exe
(although they do have to be in the same folder). Take it, play with it, and I
hope it helps!

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Uninstall badly formed bundle
Thanks for the new tool in the toolbox, however this tool does not help me (or
I use it wrongly). Whatever the product code (or update code) I enter to the
command I get "No product/patch data was found". I suspect it's because I want
to remove five bootstrappers, and not msi files. There is one hidden msi file
that all five installations are dependent upon, but this one cannot be
uninstalled as well. Need some stronger medicine.
