Let me get this straight; the first time you install the application on your
machine it doesn't show up in the Add or Remove Programs Control Panel
applet, but the app is still installed. On a second run of the setup, you're
asked to remove or repair the existing installation, which is okay as it has
been installed. If you then remove the app, and run setup a third time, you
can re-install the app and this time it shows up in the Add or Remove
Programs Control Panel applet? Have you tried this on another machine, and
if so, does it work there?
