How to get a program's GUID in .NET 4

Question

I want to uninstall a program using a C# code. I can simply do it by using msiexec.exe but in order to use it, I need to have the GUID of the program I want to uninstall. If the only thing I've got of this program is it's name then how can I find it's GUID?

You can't do that reliably, you would need more information - applications can have the same 'name'.

Use an installer/uninstaller that is the package of the program.
