Description

Use this function to uninstall the driver and helper DLLs from the system. ProductName is used to distinguish between installations of the package made by different applications and to prevent the situation when the package is installed by two applications and further deinstallation of one of them removes the package.

NOTE: you must NOT uninstall the driver and helper DLLs, if you upgrade the installation. In other words, use Uninstall method only to completely remove CallbackDisk from the system.
