It´s the same with win98. Each installation leaves a folder named ns_temp with
an appended nbr on it, contents 10 files, three folders, about 1.3 MB.
Now I´ve got ns_temp2 and ns_temp3, next installation will produce ns_temp4.
Installed from win32-installer-sea.exe.

Attachment: Fix for problem

Pass TRUE to the DirectoryRemove so we remove any directories underneath.

Attachment: Need one more tiny part for fix

It still wasn't deleting the directory because the OS/2 API can't handle a
directory like x:\blah\ - it has to be x:\blah
