Looking it up from registry should suffice. The wpkg .js already knows the product name (from "Uninstall String"). It already loops through the registry entries to find the product ID (function scanUninstallKeys). All that needs to be added, is to be able to use the aNames[i] in this function in the msiexec uninstall command. Should be trivial.
