Since all my active machines already have berrybrew installed in my unique manner, and I didn't want to mess up the workflow on those, I created a new Win10 virtual machine (1809, 17763.379), and tried downloading your link. The first few times, MS Edge / Windows Defender flagged the installer as containing a virus; I installed chrome so I could download, and successfully installed it; when I tried to re-download with Edge again, or scan the berrybrewInstaller.exe with Defender, it didn't flag it as a virus this time. (So sorry, I don't have a record of which virus it thought it was.) Even after I reverted to my pre-installation snapshot, it wouldn't flag as a virus again; so sorry, I cannot tell you what virus it thought it was.
As far as the actual process went: when I first ran berrybrewInstaller.exe, UAC asked to make changes, but other than that, it worked as you described. The uinst.exe did what you expected, as did re-installing. If i tried running berrybrewInstaller.exe after berrybrew was already installed, it asks if I want to try to disable it (I assume that's the new fix for 1.28 vs 1.27 that you made in response to swl's input). If I say no, it aborts; if I say yes, it moves forward, warns me about off/config/switch, then installs overtop the old (since it was in the same location). Looks reasonable to me.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
