==How to find an uninstall GUID ==
 
===Using the uninstall log===
* install your msi on a PC using the following command:
<code>msiexec /i MyPackage.msi</code>
*then uninstall the package with verbose logging so you can look at the log for the GUID using this command:
<code>msiexec /x MyPackage.msi /lv c:\uninstall_log.txt</code>
 
===Using regedit===
*Install the package
* in regedit open and select the following folder
<code>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall</code>
*Then search for the name of your application from that point onwards by pressing ''Ctrl+F''
*Once you've found the folder, the name of the folder should be the GUID you want.
 
Hint: most of the time they'll be a value called '''unistallstring''' in the folder with the command to uninstall the product.
