  <RegistrySearch Id='LocateInnoUninstaller64' Type='file' Root='HKLM'

<CustomAction Id="ca.RemoveInno64" Property="INNO_UNINSTALLER_64" ExeCommand="/SILENT" Return="check" />
<CustomAction Id="ca.RemoveInno32" Property="INNO_UNINSTALLER_32" ExeCommand="/SILENT" Return="check" />

<InstallExecuteSequence>
  <Custom Action="ca.RemoveInno64" Before="InstallFiles">INNO_UNINSTALLER_64</Custom>
  <Custom Action="ca.RemoveInno32" Before="InstallFiles"><![CDATA[INNO_UNINSTALLER_32 AND NOT INNO_UNINSTALLER_64]]></Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>

The code will search the Registry for Inno setup UninstallString and find the unins000.exe uninstaller. Inno setup registry
