Yeah... but that leaves all information still in the registry. The
Uninstaller doesn't remove those entries, as they (can) (will) be used
when you next install BOINC.
Remember that the BOINC installer will uninstall an older version of
BOINC as well prior to installing the new version, so it can't remove
the registry entries as else it forgets what to do the upgrade on.

Which is exactly why moving a BOINC installation to a system that
never had BOINC installed will not work, it'll miss the registry
entries.
