Yes, that looks like the easiest solution.  The Inno Setup docs tell you 
not to do that; I'm just trying it now to see if it produces really ugly

An alternative solution is to override the ConfirmUninstall message, but 
that has to be done separately in all the languages we support, so I 
like the AppVerName solution better.
