I wouldn't exactly recommend it either, but if you can't re-create
the MSI file (because it's not even yours or it's been on your system for months
and you can't re-create it) then it's almost the only solution. I say "almost"
because there's always MsiZap assuming that a) you trust it and b) you don't
care that it doesn't remove everything.
Given that MsiGetProductInfo tells you exactly where it is
(INSTALLPROPERTY_LOCALPACKAGE) I wouldn't go quite so far as calling it an
"undocumented data store".

and I would never recommend people going into an undocumented data store and
start tweaking stuff they find there. From:

Phil I've
fixed these problems with a hack - find the cached MSI file in
<Windows>\installer and edit it with Orca to change the condition on the
offending custom action (in the execute sequence I assume) to 0.

Mensching The
best way is to create a fixed MSI with the same ProductCode and Version, then do
a recache/reinstall. msiexec
/fv fixed.msi That
will end up replacing the bad MSI so you can attempt uninstall
again. |
