To: David Kruss,

I have that same file (version 1.6.2.13) in the c:\program files (x86)\gnucash\bin on my 64 bit windows 7 machine.  If you use a fresh download and try again to uninstall/reinstall gnucash 2.4.11 and find that it did not re-appear, please report it here so the developers can look into it in more detail.  You might also mention whether you are using online banking or a database file-type.
