    Judging from the error message, you are trying to uninstall the Setup Support files. You should uninstall the one that say Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (64-bit). This is how it looks on my machine:

    Hi @Mouhib JENDOUBI

    Try follow the steps as such:

    1. Get the product GUID from WMI (Win32_Product class)
    2. Find the GUID related to the product or products that the SQL error mentions
    3. Run MSIEXEC /X {GUID} for each of the products to uninstall them manually.

    Referring from this article: Uninstall of SQL fails with error about RsFx Driver.
