Hi,

according to the docs the installer bdist_wininst creates will run the 
install-script on install with -install (which works perfectly) and on 
uninstall with the -remove argument (which seemingly never happens).

However I want to cleanup some registry stuff on uninstall so I want the 
uninstall script to work.

Studying the source code of the installer[1] in the Run_RemoveScript 
function...

[1] http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/PC/bdist_wininst/install.c

... it checks for the line '%d Run Script: %s' in the log, which is there. But 
can anybody find out why the install script is not run?

with best regards,
Wilbert Berendsen
