No problem. All thanks to Charles who found it initially.
FYI:
Note that only folders on the form "ntuninstallq" and "$ntuninstallkb" will be
removed. Folders like eg "$SQLUninstallMDAC25SP3-KB927779-x86-ENU$" and
"$SQLUninstallMDAC25SP3-KB927779-x86-ENU$" will not be removed. I'm pretty
sure the script could be extended to include those too ghowever.
HTH.
