We certainly agree with you, unfortunately MSI does not let us speed up this process. The only workaround we found so far was to rename the directory where you installed EiffelStudio and then doing the uninstall. However this requires the user to manually delete this directory and it might also delete files that he may have added to this directory or one of its subdirectory.
