On Windows, hmmm... maybe the uninstaller could create a 'delete file xyz' .bat file that runs shortly after the uninstaller closes? But offhand I don't know how to schedule a task on Windows.

When an uninstaller (such as those commonly included with Win installations made with InstallShield or WiseInstall) run, it can copy itself to the user's Temp folder and run from there, so that it can do a complete deletion of the items in the application's folder.

But can I delete it from the Temp folder when it's done?

In my readings 'round the Net it seems acceptable to just leave the old uninstaller in the Temp folder until the next time the user cleans that folder out, but that doesn't feel proper to me.

Is there a way for an app to delete itself? Or to use some delayed mechanism for doing so that doesn't require modifying any system files?
