Uninstalling MSDE

Hello,



I'm developing an installation using the Wise Installation System 6.0. MSDE
Release A installs successfully and I am to execute the subsequent SQL
statements to create my database objects. However, I don't know where to
begin to implement a solution that will uninstall MSDE when my application
is uninstalled. I know I can manually delete the registry keys and database
files, but I would like to do the uninstall through "normal channels" like
initiating the uninstall programmatically as if the user had manually
uninstalled MSDE via "Add/Remove Programs". Thanks for the help.
