Description:
after some testing with install and unInstall I noticed that some files were removed from my test system that were NOT installed by the installer.

I need to check this deeper, when there is time for. Until then as a 'reminder' and for other seeing a similar behaviour this bug here.

How to repeat:
- install and uninstall agent
- watch files that are already present before install and files that are created after install

Suggested fix:
- without warning never remove files that were not installed by the installer (like it's the expect way of unInstall on Windows)

verified with 0.7.22 unInstall, here ALL(!) files including the INSTALLDIR (which was present on the machine BEFORE installing) were removed. This is not OK.

This issue has been fixed in the server and agent installer builds we provided on 11/09.

We look forward to your feedback.

Best regards,
