Description timwi 2007-10-29 17:51:03 UTC 
I just installed OpenOffice in C:\Program Files\OpenOffice 2.3 (or whatever the
default folder was, I didn't change it) and then immediately uninstalled it again.

All the files in the folder were deleted as appropriate, however an empty folder
remained.

The folder should be deleted as well, *especially* if it's empty.

It is possible that the removal of the folder failed because the installation
program's process switched its current directory into it. Make sure that this is
not the case.

@ is: I know that tis is a timing problem at uninstall. Is there a way to delete
the empty folder after uninstall?
