NSIS installer should clean up temp files when installation has completed.

Description

The current NSIS installer, will extract the internal MSI installer to a temp directory, before running it.

The problem is that the extracted temp files are not cleaned up after installation. This is intentional due to a very annoying flaw in the Visual Studio 2008 bootstrapper (ref: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/winformssetup/thread/3731985c-d9cc-4403-ab7d-992a0971f686/), where setup.exe returns immediately instead of returning after completion of msiexec.

Ideally the NSIS installer should try to adopt a solution similar to the one described in that discussion thread.
