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:

MSI installer package.xml for use with existing older exe based installs
Background The hosts on my network are a mix of 7-Zip (various versions) .exe and .msi based installs. If you do a .msi based install without first uninstalling the .exe version it will leave some files from the .exe based install intact as well as an entry in "Add/Remove Programs".
Use this if you have existing .exe based installs of 7-Zip (such as 4.20) and you would like to uninstall them before switching to an .msi based install.
<package id="7-zip" name="7-zip 4.42" revision="1" reboot="false" priority="0">
<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="7-Zip 4.42" />
<install cmd='%comspec% /c if exist "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-Zip\Uninstall.exe" "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-Zip\Uninstall.exe" /S' />
<install cmd='msiexec /qn /norestart /i %SOFTWARE%\7-Zip\7z442.msi' />
<upgrade cmd='%comspec% /c if exist "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-Zip\Uninstall.exe" "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-Zip\Uninstall.exe" /S' />
<upgrade cmd='msiexec /qn /norestart /i %SOFTWARE%\7-Zip\7z442.msi' />
<remove cmd='msiexec /qn /norestart /x %SOFTWARE%\7-Zip\7z442.msi' />
</package>
EXE installer package.xml
<package
id="7zip"
name="7-Zip" revision="432"
reboot="false" priority="0">
<check type="file" condition="exists" path="%PROGRAMFILES%\7-Zip\7zFM.exe" />
<install cmd='%SOFTWARE%\7-zip\7z432.exe /S'>
<exit code="0" />
</install>
<remove cmd='"%PROGRAMFILES%\7-Zip\Uninstall.exe" /S'>

7-Zip EXE installer options
"Use the "/S" parameter to do a silent installation and the "/D=dir" parameter to specify the "output directory". These options are case-sensitive. 7-Zip uses the NSIS installer by Nullsoft." - http://www.7-zip.org/faq.html
