Oh, I'm an old hand at finding Microsoft GUIDs. As a tester at
Microsoft, when a nightly build's uninstall failed (which was often
because the setup team was so crappy), we had to find and delete every
blasted registry key and installed file for the application. I had 50+
servers in my lab, so I identified all the keys and files on one server
and sent the delete operations out over the network to the others. This
method was laborious, but a fraction of the work needed to wipe and
fresh install 50+ servers.
