I cannot find anything about it in the config docs at
https://doc.qt.io/qtinstallerframework/ifw-globalconfig.html

But looking at the patch that added a UUID to the registry uninstall
key (https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/104183/2//ALL), it seems it
checks for a "ProductUUID" config key, so try setting that to an fixed
UUID.

Disclaimer: Haven't tested this and haven't used QtIFW :)
