    How to Uninstall an app using it's AppID?

    Say I have an app installed on my pc, with an install AppID of "Fish".

    How would I remove the app, like you would if you went control panel, add/remove programs, using VB code?

    You make life so difficult.
    Why not use INNO? Your vb code would have to trace all references to the application

    This is BECAUSE of inno that I have to do this.
    Visual Studio Installer used an App UID (ID, Key, Uninstall Key) Of Badger. Now I set the AppID in inno to Badger, but it actually stores it as badger_is1 and thus DOESN'T remove the older version.
    I need to be able to remove this previous version easily, and thus thought of writing a small app that inno launches.
