I have a Wix-based installer with a custom managed bootstrapper application. We recently released a new version of our software, which contained a critical installer bug which causes the bootstrapper application to crash when uninstalling. We definitely should have tested our installer more thoroughly before releasing, but now that we've released with this bug, do we have any good options for recourse?

Even if we can't fully uninstall the old version, can we force-remove its entry from Windows's list of installed applications?

Would it be possible to rebuild our installer for the same version (with the same bundle ID and upgrade code) with the bug fixed?

    There is [this little list of approaches to clean out installers that fail to uninstall or upgrade](https://stackoverflow.com/a/53876981/129130), but it was written for MSI files - not Burn bootstrappers. Do you see the problem if you [kick of the uninstall in silent mode](https://stackoverflow.com/a/44347702/129130)? – Stein Åsmul Sep 08 '22 at 21:01
