Suppose you did different installations of the same product with changes into the IA project and that now some of them cannot be uninstalled without errors and this prevent new build to be installed correctly. Is there a way to CLEAN completely all those mistaked installations?

With the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, you can remove a program's Windows Installer configuration information. You may want to remove the Windows Installer configuration information for your program if you experience installation (Setup) problems. For example, you may have to remove a program's Windows Installer configuration information if you have installation problems when you try to add (or remove) a component of your program that was not included when you first installed your program.
Indeed, this is the best way to do this. You may also use msizap, available with the Platform SDK, to "zap" all traces of a particular Windows Installer installation from the registry. Although the files and other settings will remain, Windows Installer will think the product is no longer there, and your future installs will work properly.
