If you can change the MSI to correct the issue (for example because it's a failing uninstall custom action), then re-install the new MSI as an update and then the uninstall should work:
Msiexec /I <path to new MSI> REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus
Then uninstall, and save msizap for when it's completely unfixable.

How can I manually un-install a setup? I get an error when I try to
remove my setup from Add\Remove programs.
Thanks,
Eric
