I don't know exactly what you should do. But I can suggest you to work on registry and file access permission.
1. first get the list of uninstaller execution file. Windows uninstaller read the list of installed file from register and also the application that would be used for uninstalling.
2. Then create user specific permission for those executable using your whatever application or software you develop

I think this can be achieved through AppLocker http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd723678.aspx. There are also PS script commands for it.
However, this works only for Windows 7 and 2008
