I have seen other posts
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15530012/is-there-a-way-to-uninstall-wix-bundle-from-cmd
and
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18620361/removing-bundle-setup-wix-from-arp-using-cmd
Where Rob is answering by suggesting to use original bundle.exe with
-uninstall switch.
What if I do not have access to that exe?
I saw a comment in the first posts that registry
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{xxx...xxx}\InstallSource
contains the directory in ProgramData, I checked that folder, but
unfortunately, there was msi but no exe. I also checked the
UninstallString, but that was only having msiexec.exe /i{xxx...xxx}
I can successfully uninstall the program, registry entry is gone, but ARP
entry still remains for bundle since I did not remove bundle.
---
When I use uninstall from Add / Remove Program using UI, I am able to
uninstall this bundle but I need to do this programmatically.
There has to be a way.
Any help would be appreciated.
