Before it was because Walter used Jordi's installer which runs
the uninstaller prior to installing (which is a good idea
usually). I wish I had realized then that having Walter switch it
back over to the regular installer wasn't really a true fix for
the heart of this problem since the regular installer also
removed the entire directory structure.
