How to uninstall MSI using its Product Code in c#
c#, uninstallation, windows-installer
Solution
According to MSDN, You can uninstall it using the product code:
msiexec.exe /x {your-product-code-guid}
When you use the product code, it uses the cached MSI from `C:\WINDOWS\Installer`.
Problem
I know We can uninstall a windows application using its MSI by passing command arguments as follows, ``` Process p = new Process(); p.StartInfo.FileName = "msiexec.exe"; p.StartInfo.Arguments = "/x \"C:\\MyApplication.msi\"/qn"; p.Start(); ``` But what i want to know is how can we uninstall the application without using MSI ? In the above scenario I should have the MSI in the specific location to uninstall this application, If i could unstaill using product code then I dont need to have the MSI in the target machine.
