My MSI will install a dll and an exe.

The dll will self-register.
The exe is run by a custom action with a command-line parameter to perform
registration and update the registry.
The exe can take a command-line parameter to unregister itself and remove
references in the registry.

How do I ensure that uninstallation can still succeed - including unregister
via the EXE and unregistering of the DLL - if the user has deleted the
files?

I would like to make an uninstall package as part of the MSI that has a
backup version of the files an merely run uninstall via this package and
remove the files on disk.

What are some good approaches for dealing with this issue?

Best,
Dan
