Yes, provide a fixed MSI with the same version info. The /fv tells windows installer to re-cache the MSI. I believe it also does a repair at that time which is just another install. From there, you should be able to remove the product as you have fixed the broken CA.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Uninstalling the MSI giving Problem You should fix the MSI, and then provide one for the user to recache before uninstalling. (msiexec /fv fixedmsiwithsameversion.msi) The easiest way of "fixing" it would be to take the original RTM version, and using a tool like Orca to disable the CA that is imploding on uninstall. Provide this MSI to your user, have them recache the install, and then remove it via ARP. -----Original Message----- From: Chaitanya Sanapala [PC-BLR-DEV] [mailto:chaita...@pointcross.com] Sent: Monday, June 03, 2013 9:29 AM To: WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Uninstalling the MSI giving Problem Hi, When i tried to uninstall the MSI from control panel entry it is throwing error because of Custom actions.
