I normally install each new version of Lilypond as it's released. I never
uninstall the old version, since I use it for testing. As a result, my PATH
statement gets an increasing number of entries similar to: C:\Program Files
(x86)\LilyPondV2.14.0\usr\bin;C:\Program Files
(x86)\LilyPondV2.15.2\usr\bin.
This has two effects: running Lilypond from the command line (which I never
actually do) runs the oldest version, since it's first on the PATH
statement; and eventually the PATH entry becomes too long and most of it is
lost, stopping me running many DOS commands.
Question is: is this a bug in the install process? It doesn't particularly
worry me now, because I know about it and prune my PATH statement every now
and then. I presume (though I've not checked) that uninstalling lily also
nukes the extra PATH entry. But it seems to me that a new install _should_
over-write the PATH statement of a previous install. Anyone else think so?
