Alternatively to the use of the GUID you might use the MSI file for uninstall as well. I prefer this method since some packagers tend to create new GUID strings on each release - so you need to search for the right ID at each release. Using the MSI file obsoletes this step:
<PRE>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<packages>
<package id='7-Zip' name='7-Zip Packer' revision='442' priority='50' reboot='false' >
<!-- 7-Zip file packer -->
<check type='uninstall' condition='exists' path='7-Zip 4.42' />
<install cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\software.free\7-Zip v.4.42\7z442.msi" /qn' />
<remove cmd='msiexec /x "%SOFTWARE%\software.free\7-Zip v.4.42\7z442.msi" /qn' />
<upgrade cmd='msiexec /i "%SOFTWARE%\software.free\7-Zip v.4.42\7z442.msi" /qn' />
</package>
