Thanks. That did the trick here is the code I used:
<Property Id="WIXUI_DATABASESERVER" >
<RegistrySearch Id="SbDatabaseName" Type="raw" Root="HKLM"
Name="DatabaseName"
Key="Software\CompanyName\Product\Install"></RegistrySearch>
</Property>
<Component Id="DatabaseNameReg" Guid="Guid">
<RegistryKey Root="HKLM"
Key="Software\CompanyName\Product\Install"
Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall">
<RegistryValue Name="DatabaseName"
Value="[WIXUI_DATABASESERVER]" Type="string"
KeyPath="yes"></RegistryValue>
</RegistryKey>
</Component>
Under features:
<ComponentRef Id="DatabaseNameReg"/>
To check if the script should run on an uninstall I added "AND (NOT
WIXUI_DATABASESERVER="")" to the custom action:
<Custom Action="sqlcmd.cmd" Before="RemoveFiles">CONFIGCHOICE=2
AND (NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE) AND (REMOVE="ALL") AND (NOT
WIXUI_DATABASESERVER="")</Custom>

Write the property to the registry
hklm\software\[company]\[productname]\[version]\DatabaseName=Value
Read the property during uninstall. If property isn't found, don't
execute the uninstll script.

"Some people come visit Europe and are really let down when they find
out it's not like a credit-card commercial; others really get into
meeting all the quirky people and careening along narrow mountain
roads in rickety cabs driven by suicidal, gap-toothed Carpathians. I
guess it's pretty obvious which one you are..." - Justin Crevier, May
