I am running version 3.60 and cannot get it to uninstall!
This is already a known issue. What happens is that the uninstaller gets hung waiting for the ExtractNow process to remove all file type associations and other registry settings. What you can do to fix it is run the installer, wait for the uninstaller to hang and once it does press Control-Alt-Delete and shutdown the ExtractNow process.

Most of the icons are provided by FamFamFam
