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.

MSI installer for use with existing older exe based installs with mixed 32-bit/64-bit hosts
On a 64-bit host, install the 64-bit version is mandatory as the 32-bit version on 7-Zip doesn't integrate in the explorer.
This demonstrates an interesting technique for distinguishing between 32 and 64 bit. It does have a drawback in that when you remove a package, the 64-bit package will never be detected as successfully removed on 32-bit systems, and vice versa.

MSI installer package.xml for 7-zip x64
For the 64 bit version of 7-Zip you just have to change the check-flag. This is the method, which sets 7-Zip as default application for archives.
