[wix-users] How can I uninstall bundle from CMD WITHOUT original bundle.exe?

[Shintaro Takechi]

Actually found the answer.

Since my application was 64 bit, my msi was 64 bit. So I assumed bundle was
also 64 bit.

However, the bundle was still using 32 bit.

So by searching WOW6432Node instead, I found the exe path under
BundleCachePath.

And because I have exe path, I was able to uninstall the bundle.
