Plover not uninstalling or upgrading properly in Windows

If you've tried to uninstall or upgrade Plover and find that the previous version of Plover remains installed, it was not uninstalled or upgraded properly. Here's how to fix it.

When Plover is uninstalled or upgraded, the installer does not check if Plover should be closed. This causes Plover to be removed from the Apps & Features Settings page or the Programs & Features Control Panel if uninstalled and when Plover continues to be running. The previous version of Plover will still exist if it is upgraded or uninstalled.
