How to delete a custom keyboard layout in Windows?

If the keyboard layout was installed using a Windows installer, you would normally uninstall it using its entry in the Add/Remove Programs dialog. The custom keyboard layout I want to delete was installed using a Windows installer (.msi). Due to an installer problem, it does not have an entry in the Add/Remove Programs dialog. However, it appears in the keyboard drop-down list in the Keyboard And Language Options dialog. I want to remove it from this list since this particular layout has some problems. If you are curious how this happened: I was playing around with the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator tool. I created an installer for my custom keyboard layout and some things got screwed up over multiple install-uninstall testing sessions of this layout.
