The condition should include "Installed OR" so that the condition
always succeeds in a repair/remove situtation.
<Condition Message="This installer is designed for IIS7. Use the IIS6
installer.">
<![CDATA[Installed OR IISMAJORVERSION >= "#7"]]>
</Condition>
>From memory the easiest solution here is to fix the package you used
to install (e.g. using Orca), repair and recache with the "new"
package ("msiexec /fv") then you should be able to uninstall normally.
The not-so-fun way out of this situation (if you don't have a copy of
the original MSI) involves digging around in "c:\windows\installer",
finding the right MSI, editing *that* with Orca and then uninstalling.
We unfortunately released with a buggy condition like this, caught it
within 24 hours and provided a fix thinking not many customers would
have downloaded in that time... unfortunately 12 months later we're
*still* finding customers that have never upgraded and are only
contacting the support team now :(
