I've also discovered that you can use msizap to force remove
uninstallable applications. Msizap comes with the windows platform sdk
and is used like so...
msizap T {product code}
Is using msiexec /fv the preferred method Rob?

1. Build a fixed MSI.
2. Recache/reinstall the fixed MSI over top the busted installed MSI:
msiexec /fv your.msi
3. Repeat 1 & 2 until MSI is fixed enough to happily uninstall.

Subject: [WiX-users] Stuck with an uninstall that doesn't work?
So I ran my installer and all was well. On my attempt to uninstall,
however,
I run into an error. I understand why I'm getting the error and I'm
pretty
sure I can fix it, but because of it I can't uninstall the app.
Everytime I
try to re-run the installer (after I've made the changes to make sure
the
uninstall will work next time) the changes are not there and I still get
the
error (I checked the verbose log and its like the changes never
happened).
Any ideas to make this app go away so I can start over?
