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

Msiexec /x path\to\your.msi

or

Msiexec /x {YOUR-PRODUCT-@ID-HERE}

The MSI SDK has more information about all the command-line switches for the Windows Installer.

I think you want to use msizap.

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.
