Here is a question about removing Windows Installer patches and packages:

Windows/Installer/
I have the latest installer at this time (I believe), with 3.1 reportedly installed.
However, there are a lot of 'packages' (*.msi) and 'patches' (*.msp) in the folder.
It looks like, according to this MS KB article that one can "now remove patches that are installed with Windows Installer 3.0 if they are marked as removable in the patch package. Patch removal enables the patched program to be returned to the state that the program was in before the patch was applied."
