Sadly, I can not confirm this. I wrote the simplest install-script
(dump call-parameters to a txt-file) and tested with 2.6 and 2.7
On bdist_wininst my install_script was called on install with
parameter "-install"
On bdist_wininst my install_script was called on install without
parameters
My script was never (ever) called on uninstall...

Yes, I'll try that, thanks.
