(Ah! <snip>  )

There is one problem though.
The idea and all is good, and I'm certain it will word *IF* the programmers
use this install/uninstall stuff.
There are still W95 programs that do not support the W95 built-in
install/uninstall feature.
The install/uninstall program should be made in such fashion, that it let's
the program run it's own install program and just records what's copied and
what's changed and keep a record of that for uninstall.
