Thanks. Would not surprise me if that worked. I don't *want* to have to touch the target FOO. (It's not that I'm not allowed to.) If I were to touch the target FOO I would simply rename it (in my particular case -- obviously, that is not the only case that falls within the scope of my original question). It's a "simplicity of product installation" issue, not one of administrative privilege.

I have not done this in a very long time, but it used to be be possible to give a second version of FOO a unique alias that could then be linked to.
