Re: [XBoard-devel] Windows Installer

One more question regarding the behavior of the uninstaller:

Right now the uninstaller I created forceably deletes the install 
directory, as opposed to only removing the same files it had installed 
and attempting to delete the directory. Almost always there are user 
created files that are still in the install directory, so the directory 
deletion fails. This is pretty standard for the Install Shield 
installer. Should we continue this or just completely clobber the 
install directory? I have the initial screen of the uninstaller giving a 
message in caps indicating what will happen, and to remove any files 
they may want to keep before uninstalling. For me when I uninstall 
something I want it to really clean up after itself, not leave anything 
behind. But some people might expect the "directory deletion fails if 
user files present" behavior. So I just thought I'd see what the 
concensus was, I can do it either way.
