I am not sure whether we really should do that, because that first check box
entails several other ones:
- file association
  -- Use parallel installation for ODF documents
  -- USE parallel installation for MS documents
  -- USE pi for other documents?
- user profile
  -- use existing main user profile (risky)
  -- use existing dev user profile
  -- create own new user profile?
- What's with extensions and settings user has been used to have?
- should it be allowed to do several parallel installations?
- should it be possible to run both (all) versions in parallel?

All these decisions have consequences overcharging most "normal" users.

An option "replace existing installation" Y/N might be more nearby to
reporter's intention. So he gets the new version, the old one remains on PC for
emergency case, and it would be easy (at lease with WINDOWS) to restore the old
version. 
But also this solution has many hidden problems what might worry unexperienced
users.
