1. Create a package like 'msoffice-demo'
- do not specify any install commands
- specify checks (e.g. uninstall check) which verify if the software is installed
- define appropriate remove commands (like 'msiexec /x [GUID] /qn'
- assign the package to the hosts

2. Run WPKG
- WPKG will detect that the software is already installed and therefore it just
adds it to wpkg.xml

3. Rmoeve the package from the profile

4. RUn WPKG
Now WPKG will execute the remove commands and therefore cleanly remove the software.
