I have PovRay 3.6.1c installed with the 3.7beta27 installed.

When I tried to run the beta28 MSI installer it refused saying
    "Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of 
this version cannot
    continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product 
use Add/Remove
    Programs on the Control Panel"...

I understand that the installer is beta too, but is this

I install PovRay into a seperate directory outside Program Files and its 
taken me ages to get it just the way I want it and I would rather not have 
to uninstall to be able to install the latest beta!  The 3.7 betas have been 
very useful (especially thr multithreading) and I would love to continue 
using the new ones as they come out, but until I can install it I'll have to 
wait patiently.
