Windows Live Essentials 2011 uninstall from Windows 7

I have been struggling with creating an uninstall package for Windows Live Essentials 2011 on Windows 7 platform.

Finally I found a list of uninstallers that need to be run in order to clear out all of Windows Live Essentials:

I also needed to package separately Windows Live Photo gallery and Movie Maker and create an uninstall just for those two:


Live Essentials {FE044230-9CA5-43F7-9B58-5AC5A28A1F33}
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition {F0B430D1-B6AA-473D-9B06-AA3DD01FD0B8}
D3DX10 Microsoft {E09C4DB7-630C-4F06-A631-8EA7239923AF}

Live Photo Gallery {34F4D9A4-42C2-4348-BEF4-E553C84549E7}
Live SOXE Definitions {200FEC62-3C34-4D60-9CE8-EC372E01C08F}
Live ID Sign-in Assistant {1B8ABA62-74F0-47ED-B18C-A43128E591B8}
Live Installer {0B0F231F-CE6A-483D-AA23-77B364F75917}


As it turned out the above was not enough to uninstall Photo Gallery, I needed two more Product GUIDs, one for PhotGallery and one for Photo Common, so in total the were 2 GUIDs for Photo Gallery and 2 GUIDs for Photo Common. Below are the extra GUIDs:


Live Photo Gallery {3336F667-9049-4D46-98B6-4C743EEBC5B1}
Live Photo Common {A9BDCA6B-3653-467B-AC83-94367DA3BFE3}
