   > I've worked around this by re-running the original installer for the 
version I'm trying to uninstall (which requires clearing out the target 
installation folder too), then immediately uninstalling it; but it's a bit 
messy. 
   
   @EKMMattV good workaround!

   yep. The installer code is very old. It is possible that the path variable 
values were originally different or that this scenario was no real concern 
since a system upgrade which would clear those folders was something not to 
worry about.
   
   NBI is unmaintained and NB 25 will hopefully be the last release which uses 
the old installers. As others pointed out the download page links to community 
packages which use a different installer - they do also bundle a JDK which is 
probably especially convenient on windows.
