 The current NSIS installer, will extract the internal MSI installer to a
 temp directory, before running it.

 The problem is that the extracted temp files are not cleaned up after
 installation. This is intentional due to a very annoying flaw in the
 Visual Studio 2008 bootstrapper (ref:
 http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/winformssetup/thread/
 3731985c-d9cc-4403-ab7d-992a0971f686/), where setup.exe returns
 immediately instead of returning after completion of msiexec.

 Ideally the NSIS installer should try to adopt a solution similar to the
 one described in that discussion thread.
