Issues uninstalling Dec 2007 Power Tools – error 1001

We've heard some reports from people who are upgrading to the Mar 2008 Power Tools that they have had problems uninstalling the Dec 2007 Power Tools (which you must do first).  They get "error 1001" - a very useful error message a must admit.  It makes me wonder what the other 1000 errors are :) Anyway, working with a few customers, ...
