> "RMDir $INSTDIR" will fail if the directory isn't empty, which is a
> possibility if the user placed any additional files in $INSTDIR after running
> the installer. Calling "RMDIR /r $INSTDIR" isn't safe since it's possible
> that the user selected a non-standard installation location like C:\WINDOWS
> It looks like the best practice for avoiding this problem is to use the the
> uninstall macro located here:
