Known issue: installing just for your account works, but the uninstaller (using Inno Setup) doesn't seem to properly remove it for some versions of Windows 10.

No idea what's wrong. Unfortunately, winget is going to require both sometime, and it doesn't remove the uninstaller from the list of uninstallers in the Settings app. The only thing I can say is, if you uninstall it, you also have to use something like CCleaner to delete the uninstall entry.

This also affects v0.1.3. I think this is a Windows issue, because I don't remember that problem before.

Edit: This also affects UXL Launcher. Maybe I did something wrong.

Ok, it might be a Windows issue. I'm seeing it on 1909 but not 2004, for some reason even though Inno Setup is supposed to run the uninstaller elevated but it didn't on the 2004 install. Guess that means: good luck if you want to try using the local one.

Maybe it'll be possible to manually run the uninstaller as administrator if you go to the installation folder.

Update: this seems to work fine on Windows 10 21H1. Didn't know I was running that version.
