>>>>>Let me say, it's not impossible. The problem is, you need to understand the way the installer puts stuff to the registry. And that is complex. Basically you need all the UUIDs from you installer package. (Component IDs, update ID, package ID, name it) The name of the package. The name of components key files.

>>>If you have the code (and the ISD Express) you have the UUIDs. Open the stuff with ISD, and look up the nodes. I do not use ISDX, but as far as I remember it was like ISD. Open up the nodes in the tree, and check the information on the right hand panel, it should be there. If all fails there is ORCA, but then you need to learn the IS Database. Not straight forward.
>>>Else try to figure out how a clean install looks by installing into a clean VM and check the Registry. It's normally no problem to search for the file names, this will reveal the UUIDs (in both forms, just use your imagination)

Thank you.
