Change Add/Remove programs executable

By default, IA puts the uninstaller.exe for add/remove programs(windows)->remove
Is there any way to change that executable to something else?
something like.. uninstall.bat, which will be part of installed files..

By default the Uninstaller is an executable file... which is removed at the end of the installation! Why would you want to have a .bat instead?!?

bcoz.. During uninstallation, i am loading a jar at runtime with the URLClassloader.. and the jar gets a lock if loaded runtime. It can not be deleted till the jvm is down..
so when uninstallation is unable to delete the jar while jvm is running... so i can have a .bat file like....
1. run uninstaller.exe
2. delete the jar

and same .bat points to add/remove->Remove

Maybe the stuff you want to do has to be done in the Pre-Uninstall Task. You load your stuff and once it's finished the uninstaller can remove the JVM and the rest of the files.
