Apparently it lacks support for "interactive uninstalls":

        http://www.jrsoftware.org/iskb.php?confirmuninstall

I had to create a .bat script executed by the uninstaller. It checks
if the .gnubg dir is there, it prompts to delete it.

Seems to work fine, but to get the home dir I had to use a constant in Innosetup
that gives the User Application Data dir, like:

        {userappdata}\..\.gnubg

This lrelies on the assumption that the user applciation data dir is in the user
home dir. I think its true on XP and Vista, dont know about the others Wins ...

MaX.
