Description

It looks like, if the installer is interrupted, it won't create ProcessRunner.exe, and so subsequent attempts at installation will fail. It does however create a backup copy at ProcessRunner.exe.old (which I don't think anything uses) -- we should check whether this exists if ProcessRunner.exe doesn't exist.
