Is this on a dev box or deployed? If dev box, the easiest way out of this problem is to fix the msi and recache it with msiexec /i foo.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMOVE=vomus. Then you should be able to do your uninstall. Christopher Painter, Author of Deployment Engineering Blog Have a hot tip, know a secret or read a really good thread that deserves attention? E-Mail Me

I believe that I have created an installation that I cannot uninstall due to a thoughtless condition. Behold!! <!-- Check Conditions --> <Condition Message="PowerShell 2.0 or greater is required"> <![CDATA[NOT Installed OR POWERSHELLVERSION >= "2.0"]]> </Condition> I want the installer to fail if PowerShell is less than version 2.0. However, I do not want to perform this check on uninstall. I should be able to uninstall my application if PowerShell is not available. I think I want: <!-- Check Conditions --> <Condition Message="PowerShell 2.0 or greater is required"> <![CDATA[Installed OR (POWERSHELLVERSION >= "2.0")]]> </Condition> In any case, I know have an installed application that I cannot uninstall via Add/Remove Programs. How can I properly clean up the installation and remove it from Add/Remove programs?
