Creating an "Uninstall" is a bit unusual. Usually people create install packages and let the install package create the uninstaller. How exactly are you creating your "uninstall"?

As soon as you create an installer for something the uninstaller is generated too. The uninstaller automatically executes when clicking on uninstall in the "View installed programs" sight of the windows control panel.

So why in the hell should you create an uninstaller?
