Here is what I use to save off the databasehost name provided at install time
so it will be set automatically to the correct value during uninstall
processing.
<Property Id="DATABASESHOST" Value="[%ComputerName]">
<!-- Any public property default values that were overridden at install time
are not automatically
overridden with the same value at uninstall time. Therefore for any public
property values that you
also need to use during uninstall you need to store the value of them that was
used at install time
so that it can be read and used at uninstall time. -->
<RegistrySearch Id="DatabasesHostSearch1" Type="raw" Root="HKLM"
Key="$(var.SoftwareKey)\Microsoft\!(loc.ProductKey)"
Name="DATABASESHOST" />
</Property>
For $(var.SoftwareKey) assignment I have the following in place.
<?if $(var.Platform) = "x64" ?>
<?define Win64 = "yes" ?>
<?define SystemFolder = "System64Folder" ?>
<?define SystemFolderX86 = "SystemFolder" ?>
<?define SoftwareKey = "Software" ?>
<?define SoftwareKeyX86 = "Software\Wow6432Node" ?>
<?define ProgramFilesFolder = "ProgramFiles64Folder" ?>
<?define ProgramFilesFolderX86 = "ProgramFilesFolder" ?>
<?define DotNetFramework35Folder =
"[%SystemRoot]\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v3.5\" ?>
<?define DotNetFramework20Folder =
"[%SystemRoot]\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\" ?>
<?else?>
<?define Win64 = "no" ?>
<?define SystemFolder = "SystemFolder" ?>
<?define SystemFolderX86 = "SystemFolder" ?>
<?define SoftwareKey = "Software" ?>
<?define SoftwareKeyX86 = "Software" ?>
<?define ProgramFilesFolder = "ProgramFilesFolder" ?>
<?define ProgramFilesFolderX86 = "ProgramFilesFolder" ?>
<?define DotNetFramework35Folder =
"[%SystemRoot]\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\" ?>
<?define DotNetFramework20Folder =
"[%SystemRoot]\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\" ?>
<?endif?>

Hey Sandeep,
I imagine that you could have a registry entry that sets the value of the
property and you could have registry locator that reads that value. Check
your state and when doing an uninstall use that registry locator value?
Thanks,
