Why do you need two different apps? Just have Uninstall.app delete itself when 
it finishes.

Remember how I said to be careful about quoting? The command above will fail if 
ourPath contains any single quotes.

Also, this task really shouldn't require admin privileges. You're making it 
impossible for a non-admin to uninstall the app (even from their own home 
directory), and greatly increasing the potential danger of your quoting error, 
since that cp command is capable of copying anything anywhere.
