Improved the INF uninstaller

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I made some improvements to the uninstaller, I switched from LaunchINFSectionEx 
to LaunchINFSection which opens up some new features like uninstall prompt and 
the ability to close/kill the program if opened (also added 
QuietUninstallString)

I also added a like that closes/kills notepad2 before the uninstall deletes the 
files I use tskill.exe (terminal services killer) becase taskkill.exe is not 
compatible with XP Home, if you guys add a new switch to the app like 
Notepad2.exe /exit or whatever it could be used in the uninstall INF

Hi and thanks for your contribution.

Here are my thoughts:
1) I don't like the tskill approach and it doesn't work for me at all. Plus I 
don't really like the idea of killing the process with any changes unsaved so 
it's no go.
2) I don't plan to do any updates for this installer. If it works then ok. I do 
plan to create a proper Inno Setup installer but I have lost my interest plus I 
don't have lot of time to deal with it atm.

If the QuietUninstallString applies to the current inf script then I could add 
that.

Inno is a gr8 idea, then maybe you could make a single installer compatible 
with both x86/64

Not sure if I will combine both builds. I have a separate branch in the svn for 
this, but haven't updated it in a while.

I was wondering, can I use QuietUninstallString with LaunchINFSectionEx? Also 
what are the requirements and the donwsides if any in using LaunchINFSection?

No need for QuietUninstallString with LaunchINFSectionEx because its already 
silent, my uninstaller change now has prompts to which can be hidden by adding 
",1" flag on the end

Are you sure you want to completely remove Notepad2 and all of its components?
Yes No

Notepad2 was successfully removed from your computer.
