I have think about this problem, if I make a mistake in the setup and for some reason when I have distributed the setup to customers the setup fail to uninstall (for example it could not show the uninstall button on the custom UI). How can I make the customer uninstall the product in a way as simple as possible? So I search if there is some tool to make force uninstall even if it is not possible to uninstall the product from ARP, something like "Windows installer cleanup utility", but as it's an old product and it is not supported anymore I'd like to know if is there any better tool to use.
