[wix-users] Uninstall application programmatically using GUID in C#

[Christopher Painter]

That works if the products are doing major upgrades.  If they do side by side installation with the same UpgradeCode then it'll be ambigious.

"Upgrade Code not helpful for uninstallation" ??

Upgrade Code is essential to find any version of the product you wish you uninstall using GetRelatedProducts function.
Example: IEnumerable<ProductInstallation> relatedProducts = ProductInstallation.GetRelatedProducts(session["UpgradeCode"]);

No. Upgrade Code not helpful for uninstallation. Need Product code to uninstall.

Anyway of getting the Product Code of installed application?

Hi,

maybe "UpgradeCode" is what you're searching for.
