What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Uninstall PeerBlock

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- The directory in which PeerBlock was installed should be deleted;
instead, that directory is left on the harddrive even though it's empty.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- Reported in PeerBlock r65.

It seems to work fine here! I will look into it though...

After running some more repro-tests I've been able to reproduce this, but only
because I accidentally had left a program running that had held a reference to 
a file
in that directory.  Even leaving a Windows Explorer open and viewing that 
directory
wasn't enough to repro the problem, on Win7 x64 at least.  When the problem was
reproducing, I also couldn't delete the directory using Windows Explorer . . . 
so it
really does not appear to be a PeerBlock-specific problem.

I'll leave this bug open since it would be nice if we could pop up a message 
telling
the user that we cannot delete the directory because some program is holding 
open a
reference to it, and ideally identify that program.  Not targetting this
functionality for 0.9.1 though, as I think it really is a low-priority issue at 
this
point.

If anyone has a better repro case that could result in this bug happening for 
reasons
beyond the user's control, please let us know.

I do believe that this might be something that XhmikosR should be able to take 
care of.

Actually no, because this is not a bug in the installer and it's not even a 
defect
IMO. Plus I cannot reproduce on Windows 7 so this bug is nonexistent for me.

Hmm. So I suspect that this is then closed.
