Subject: [PATCH] Skip uninstall validation if productCode empty (#40867)

Add an early return in preProcessUninstallScript to return the original
uninstallScript when productCode is empty. This prevents calling
file.ValidatePackageIdentifiers with an empty product code and avoids
unnecessary validation errors.
