Upgrading to 1.5.7.0 removes gitdll.dll

What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Install 1.5.7.0 on top of 1.5.3.0, without uninstalling first.
- Start Explorer (or in my case, Xplorer^2, which I don't think is relevant to this issue). I get a message that gitdll.dll cannot be found (or 1 message per explorer tab), and TortoiseGit is not present in the context menu.
- Uninstall 1.5.7.0, and then reinstall it.
- When starting Explorer or similar, I do not get the gitdll.dll message, and TortoiseGit is present in the menus.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Checking in TortoiseGit\bin, gitdll.dll is not present after upgrading.
It is present after uninstalling/reinstalling.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Experienced both in WinXP, and in Win7 x64 (behaved the same way, though I only checked gitdll.dll properly in Win7).
Installing 1.5.7.0. Previous version 1.5.3.0.
Git 1.7.2.3.
Please provide any additional information below.
I installed TortoiseGit into a non-default folder (c:\prog\TortoiseGit).
