Uninstall using upgrade code

Is there way to uninstall msis using upgrade code instead of product code?

Hari

If you're willing to write some code, yes, and use MsiEnumRelatedProducts on
the UpgradeCode to get the installed ProductCode(s).

If you have the upgrade code, you can get the product codes with
MsiEnumRelatedProducts or Installer.RelatedProducts. Then just
loop and uninstall them one at a time.

Alternatively, you could construct an MSI package that lists
the upgrade code in the Upgrade table and then runs the
FindRelatedProducts and RemoveExistingProducts actions. This
package would not have to register itself with Windows Installer.
A one-off package like this mostly seems like unnecessary
complexity, but it might be a way to uninstall multiple packages
in one transaction even before Windows Installer 4.5.

For any installed MSI-based product, there is a cached MSI file in
Windows\installer. Open with Orca to see UpgradeCode in the Property table.
If you float the mouse over the .msi file it may tell you the product name.
