In the second column there is the correct value. Look there in the table with the name "Property" and search for the string "ProductCode" in the first column. If 1.a) was the case, you can look for the correct ProductCode of your package, if you open your msi file with Orca, Insted or another editor/tool. Click on that.Ī) If that uninstall works, your msi has another ProductCode than you expect (maybe you have the wrong WiX source or your build has dynamic logging where the ProductCode changes).ī) If that uninstall gives the same ".only valid for products already installed" the package is not installed (which is obviously a precondition to be able to uninstall it). You will see (besides "Install" and "Repair") an Uninstall entry. Either the package with this ProductCode is not installed or there is a typo.įirst try to right click on the (probably) installed.
If the message is: "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed", then this is true. (Admin rights needed of course- With curly braces without any quotes here- quotes are only needed, if paths or values with blank are specified in the commandline.) Eventually I'll use powershell scripting to do this but at the moment I can't seem to get my test package to uninstall interactively with cmd. I'm trying to automate the uninstallation of packages created using WiX for the purposes of changing the installed software stack & configuration without reprovisioning a whole OS.
