This isn't really under my control, it's a Windows Installer thing, so yes
- clean installs only. It's also why I use a different install path (even
on Windows XP); there's no way for me to tell Windows Installer to backup
the old files, especially files that weren't installed by it (as 3.61c did
not use WI).

I don't like it either. I feel uncomfortable having everything in the one
place (which is why I fixed it in 3.7). However the code refers to the
install path in many places and since the codebase is now so different
between v3.6 and v3.7 I'd basically have to do all the changes over again.

But thinking of it, I really think you're right. I might just have to go in
and do it.

This would be due to the shared registry settings.
