uninstall question

I hava a java program I've developed that installs and uninstalls as
best as I can hope now. However after the uninstall I have my left over
uninstall.exe that sits in the systme 32 because a program cannot
delete itself.

Does anyone know how I might perform a clean "uninstall" by also
removing a specific folder?

Thanks,

This is only a suggestion, and I don't know if it will work. But in the
event that uninstall.exe is ran, make a copy into a system temp folder like
TEMP, and execute the uninstall from that file. That way the directory can
be deleted, and the uninstall.exe(copy) will be dumped with the trash.
