MsiZapEx is a command line utility and .NET assembly that enumerates Windows Installer products and WiX bundles and optionally deletes all their Windows Installer and WiX entries from the registry

  • Note: The utility does not delete files or any other of the products' or bundles' contents. Rather, it deletes all indications of the installation by Windows Installer and WiX.
  • Note: This utility is intended for use by Windows Installer and WiX bundle developers to recover from un-uninstallable packages. End users are encouraged not to use this tool.
