Is this for an application that you installed? ...or is it an application that someone else installed? Did the application write to the registry? Did the application store to any protected directories (such as Windows\system32 or even the Program Files directories)?

If you follow the link, you'll see it's a C function in the MSI system API. Do your homework, read up, try to solve the problem using what you have learned, and if you still have problems, post your code and say how it is not working. Nobody will write you a complete solution.
