MSI uninstall gives unsigned dialog

This week we again had the honor of getting the expert advise of one of the Windows Installer PMs (here and here). He mentioned that when uninstalling a signed msi package you still get the scary this-package-is-unsigned dialog. Reason is that the installer tosses out files from the cab it doesn’t need to save space. Obviously this will ruin the hash value and invalidate the signature.
