No one ever really sees the name of these uninstall scripts, so why name them that? "UNINSTALL.EXE" would be fine.

'Wise' is the name of the installer. Hence, unwise.

that is the standard uninstaller .exe for the Wise packaging program

i use NCIS , so it is different (different name .exe to uninstall)
