What exactly is in these folders?

I've switched on logging for the Mingw installer. Can you (un)install 
2.9.18 with /s when it comes out? This will generate an installation 
log, which will hopefully provide some clues.

Note that we create the installer on Linux, and almost never test the 
windows installer.
