Unable to uninstall Firefox (Deer Park Alpha 2 (1.6a1). Uninstaller fails with the error "0:Uninstall log folder not found".
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox\1.6a1 (en-US)\Uninstall\Uninstall Log Folder

I haven't done an uninstall and complete install since incremental updates have been working. The incrementals were not available this morning so I downloaded the complete install. Tried an uninstall on the Friday nighty trunk build and that didn't work (same error). Manually removed the uninstall keys from the registry, removed the program folder and installed the 2006012306 nighty build. Tried an uninstall on that to see if an install without incremental updates worked. It also failed with the the uninstall folder not found. There is a similar report for Thunderbird https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323186 but I didn't find one for Firefox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install (2006012306 Nighty build)
2. Control panel->add remove programs
3. Select Deer Park Alpha2 (1.6a1)
4. click on remove

Actual Results:  
Error box reporting the uninstall folder can not be found.

Expected Results:  
Unistall Firefox

Both this bug and bug 323186 are the same regression from bug 307296.
