I got into a serious mess on XP (where I had a checkbox to install All Users icons) I found, because my installer prompted to uninstall before an installation. It was bordering on schizophrenic to search for currently installed copies. Which should you be prompting to uninstall? And how would you know it was the copy that was being replaced, if the user ended up overwriting the other copy?

My advice to any and all reading this thread is don't use a checkbox to install All Users icons.

It doesn't work with re-installing and is incompatible with Vista. Install icons according to the user's account.

Other than that, the uninstaller is OK now. Thanks for the valuable tips. 🙂
