Hi guys!

I was trying to uninstall WinHugs in order to install a newer version, and I found that the uninstaller.exe program doesn't work.

I opened the uninstaller.exe with a hex editor, and I found that it's not a valid executable file. It's some weird combination of HTML and executable code. These are the first 15 lines of the uninstaller.exe file:

{{{ <html> <head> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=Windows-1252"> </head> <body> <pre> <table width=100% bgcolor=#CFCFE5><tr> <td> <font face=arial size=+3> Build Log </font></table><table width=* cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td width=0 bgcolor=#EDEDF5> </td><td width=0 bgcolor=#FFFFFF> </td><td width=*><pre> <h3>------- Build started: Project: Uninstaller, Configuration: Release|Win32 ------- </h3> </pre></table><table width=100% bgcolor=#DFDFE5><tr><td><font face=arial size=+2> Command Lines </font></table><table width=* cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td width=0 bgcolor=#EDEDF5> </td><td width=0 bgcolor=#FFFFFF> </td><td width=*><pre>Uninstaller - up-to- date.</pre></table><table width=100% height=20 bgcolor=#CFCFE5><tr><td><font face=arial size=+2> </font></table></body></html> }}}

I hope this is not difficult to fix.
