If you are talking about Setup projects in Visual Studio then look at this thread: Install directory from deployment projects. You can execute code on the install and uninstall using the Installer class.

You should be able to do this using a System.Management listener for deletion of instances of Win32_Product. Take a look at this, you would need to use Win32_Product and __InstanceDeletionEvent though.

This applies to software installed using Windows Installer, at least. For others, you may have to brute force the registry settings or the like.
