The Workrave uninstaller automatically closes Workrave when you continue the 
uninstall. Did the uninstaller remove (part of) Workrave even though you 
canceled the uninstall?

This may be an unfortunate bug in the installer. Make sure you have no window 
open that has 'Workrave' as title. In particular, make sure you have no 
explorer window open in a directory called 'Workrave'.

Apparently Workrave is only partly installed/uninstalled. This shouldn't 
happen... Please try closing all windows called 'Workrave' and run the 
installer again.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
