If you receive these message when installing or uninstalling it implies the product install has been corrupt on your system. Microsoft provides a utility to help uninstall corrupt product installs:

Note: The tool only removes the corrupt installer information, so you may also have to manually delete the Liquid Xml folder from the install folder (typically \Program Files\Liquid Xml...).
