Subject: [PATCH] Windows installer:  disabled Wise's "delete in-use files"
 uninstall option.  It was the cause of at least one way UNWISE.EXE could
 vanish (install a python; uninstall it; install it again; reboot the machine;
 abracadabra the uinstaller is gone).

Bugfix candidate, but I'll backport it myself.
