The bug causes the unistaller to rollback the uninstallation. How can I force the software removal? The "installer" is a MSI package.

Revo Uninstaller works great! It has three different modes for scanning for related files. It removes things that other uninstallers miss.

It worked for me, when everything else failed. It just removed some registry entries though. – Jader Dias – 2010-01-15T17:10:29.367

My solution was to Repair the installation and then Uninstall

But later I ran into similar problems that weren't solved so simply – Jader Dias – 2010-01-15T17:06:36.847
What's the software? If it's a known issue there might be information already out on the web about it. – ChrisF – 2010-01-15T13:35:19.747
It's mine. I haven't published it yet. – Jader Dias – 2010-01-15T13:49:30.103
1You might want to test installation and such on virtual machines; that way, you don't have a problem if you can't uninstall cleanly. – David Thornley – 2010-01-15T14:33:08.590
Great idea David! – Jader Dias – 2010-01-15T17:05:53.840
