Hi,
I think wise cannot do this.
This vbs will find key that you looking for. You can easly modify, for example run section etc.
On error resume next
const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strComputer = "."
Set ws = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"
oReg.EnumKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, strKeyPath, arrSubKeys
var1 = "7-Zip 9.13 (x64 edition)"
For Each subkey In arrSubKeys
tmp = Ws.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\" & strKeyPath & "\" & subkey & "\DisplayName" )
tmp2 = StrComp(tmp,var1)
if tmp2 = 0 then
msgbox tmp,,""
end if
Next

If you have WiseScript, you have either WIS or WPS, in which case why not use the built-in capability of Windows Installer (i.e. an MSI) to remove an existing product version?
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
