Description

Steps to reproduce

Install PowerShell-6.2.0-preview.2-win-x64.msi and select the installation option for "Open here" context menu item in Windows Explorer.

Expected behavior

If the "Open here" context menu item option is selected during installation it should add a single item for "Open here" and a single item for "Open here as Administrator" to the "PowerShell 6-Preview" context menu in Windows Explorer.

Conversely, if the "Open here" context menu item option is not selected during installation, it should remove any existing context menu for "PowerShell 6-Preview" from Windows Explorer.

Uninstalling the program should also remove the "PowerShell 6-Preview" context menu from the Registry.

Actual behavior

The installation creates two "Open here" context menu items.
Uninstalling the program does not remove the context menu.
