If you can change the MSI to correct the issue (for example because it's a failing uninstall custom action), then re-install the new MSI as an update and then the uninstall should work:
Msiexec /I <path to new MSI> REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus Then uninstall, and save msizap for when it's completely unfixable.
