1209 Uninstall fails to remove all files [6843]

I installed MM with default options, add/rescanned some files to the library, checked the results using some dialogs, then uninstalled.
The uninstall left the following file, and its folders: "C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey\Plugins\musepack.ini"

Does it remove the other plugins correctly? In other words is just musepack the offending plugin in not uninstalling correctly?

The file it fails to remove is not a plug-in - it is an .INI file. I cannot say whether it removes any plug-ins corrently. I can say this INI was the only file left in
Program Files\MediaMonkey.

Is this file added by mediamonkey during installation? IE is it present before first run?
If not, then the plugin probably creates it after running and/or changing plugin options, so it may be concidered a user created file and is not on the un-install list.

I was wondering that too, but I got this file in my plugins folder as well.

Good questions. Answers: No and No.

It is created after the last page of the installer (offering to launch MM) and before the first page of MM itself ("Welcome to MediaMonkey!")

I do hope not! ...since it is located in %program files% not %userprofile%.

So it seems!
