Good find - thanks for pointing this out. I've fixed this and put
another version of the setup in the same location; please check to see
if it's OK for you now.

FWIW I also enhanced the code that handles the registry keys to save
and restore a little better.

I'm a bit unsure if I should remove associations automatically added
by windows. Yes, it would make sense to remove them, but up to now
I've tried to avoid having the uninstaller touch anything that the
installer didn't create.

I'll have a look at what Microsoft recommends (if anything) before I
make any further changes.
