The installer is what checks to see if it's already installed. There are 
bunches of moving parts and extra libraries for DX9, for example, and the 
installer makes sure you're at least as up to date as the game. If it's 
already installed, the installer makes no changes for these products.

There's whole genres of games where that's the point of the game. You've 
just discovered one.  This is kind of what an adventure game is, except 
there you use your real-world knowledge to guide your guesses.

Indeed, I even saw write-ups of board game systems where the goal is to 
figure out the rules and strategies of the game faster than the AI does. :-)
