Always remember Occams Razor, the simplest soulution is (almost) always the best. Also, the best way to deal with trouble is not to have any. If you use an automated installer to put something on a system, you should use the same installer to remove it. There are always exceptions, but it's generaly the best way to make sure everything is cleaned up properly. On the other hand, for folks who have already learned the above the hard way, your script is an excellent (and elegant)way for them to get out of the hole they've dug themselves into.
