Bug Description
The uninstaller cannot delete the directory that contains the executable, even though the executable is self extracted to a temp folder and run from there. The pylauncher self-extracting code runs synchronously, so it does not exit until wubi code has exited. This results in the uninstaller failing.

This only occurs from the installed version of wubi. From both the uninstall option and fro windows add/remove program.
If you however reuse the cd it will happily remove the current version of wubi.
