At present when an existing copy of nvda is installed, some users complain of several minutes of no feedback to the user somewhere between 2 percent and 83 percent of the uninstall. In the case below its about 1 minute but the log shows nothing of what is going on in this gap, no matter how long it might be. If nothing can be done about this, it might be a wise idea to place some extra text in the installer to the effect that the uninstall could take several minutes and during that time no interaction with the program is possible, please be patient. Here is the log fragment.
