Hi
"How to Clean up existing Windows Installer configuration (Unregistering Exe/DLL, removing files and removing the Registry entries) ?" So when instmsiw.exe is executed, it wont prompt the message "The Specified service already exists." but will continue to configure it.
Regards

I am sure quite what you mean?
You can use instmsiw /q, which will install the windows installer silently so you cannot tell if it is installed or not.
Or you can unregister the Windows Installer serivce by doing the following...
msiexec /unregister
Delete the Msi.dll, Msiexec.exe, and Msihnd.dll files from the system folder.
You must rename these files from the command prompt.
Restart Windows.
Run the Instmsi.exe program to install and register the engine files again.
msiexec /regserver
