Description (last modified by )
Reproduction steps:
- Regular installation of CortUI
- Regular uninstallation of CortUI, selecting all three options (Uninstall CortUI, Remove backups, Remove uninstaller)
Expected result:
The artwork/mods/ directory should stay, but artwork/mods/CortUI/ should be removed.
Actual result:
artwork/mods/CortUI/ is empty but is not removed.
The uninstaller log doesn't show an attempt of removing that directory.

Still there in NSIS 2.44. Maybe I *do* actually use it wrong. Needs some more investigation. However, I don't see it as important enough to hold back the release, so postponing to 2.0.

I consider this an NSIS bug until I hear otherwise, because RMDir is called on the directory and should succeed when it's empty.
Needs to be confirmed whether this still happens with the latest version of NSIS.
It is kinda weird that the removal doesn't appear in the log however. It should be checked whether the command is really invoked.
