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).

+- Sometimes the uninstall executable (UNWISE.EXE) vanishes.  One cause
+  of that has been fixed in the installer (disabled Wise's "delete in-
+  use files" uninstall option).
+
 - The installer now installs Start menu shortcuts under (the local
   equivalent of) "All Users" when doing an Admin install.
