I'm looking for second source verification of some installer issues on 9x.

Specifically, when working from a full clean install:

1.) The installer inserts the startup at logon shortcut regardless of what you select during the installation. This has been an issue since version 4.

The Uninstaller is essentially completely broken when selecting remove for the uninstall option:

1.) It does not delete the files it is suppose to when uninstalling. I verified this by comparing the BOINC folder from a NT based system after running the remove option to the 9x system after doing the same.

2.) It does not update the registry or Start menu correctly to reflect the application has been removed.

3.) When exiting from the uninstall dialog it immediately restarts the Manager, which of course runs since it effectively has not been removed.

In essence the only thing it appeared to actually do was to remove itself from the Add/Remove Programs dialog.
