            Process process = new Process();
            process.StartInfo.FileName = "msiexec.exe";
            process.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format(" /qb /i \"{0}\" ALLUSERS=1", sMSIPath);      
            process.Start();
            process.WaitForExit();
            Console.WriteLine("Application installed successfully!");
            return true; //Return True if process ended successfully
        }
        catch
        {
            Console.WriteLine("There was a problem installing the application!");

    {
        try
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Starting to uninstall application");
            ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe", string.Format("/c start /MIN /wait msiexec.exe /x {0} /quiet", guid));
            startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
            Process process = Process.Start(startInfo);
            process.WaitForExit();
            Console.WriteLine("Application uninstalled successfully!");
            return true; //Return True if process ended successfully
        }
        catch
        {
            Console.WriteLine("There was a problem uninstalling the application!");
            return false; //Return False if process ended unsuccessfully
        }
    }
