      During uninstall, we recursively remove all of the contents and subdirectories of the [INSTALLDIR]. However, during install, if the user changes the installation directory from:

      C:/Program Files/Java/j2re1.4.2

      to

      C:/

      it will remove the contents of C:/ upon uninstall. We should change the installation scheme to add the j2re1.4.2 onto whereever they decide to install. The default install directory will be C:/Program Files/Java. During uninstall, we should now pass [INSTALLDIR]/j2re1.4.2 into the custom RemoveDirectoryRecursively function.
