Hi,

Could the documentation and/or compiler include a big
warning about using RmDir /r "$INSTDIR" in the
uninstaller? It's a bit of a gotcha, as if the user
changes the install directory to, say, C:\Program
Files, it'll delete everything in that. I've had an
in-the-field occurance of this:

From a quick Google I think using RmDir like this is
fairly common.
