This assumes it installs in a separate location, which by default it does
not.

I don't see much benefit in this because the uninstaller doesn't properly
remove the registry keys or the .lmmsrc file.
I think a better question is if we can fix the uninstaller to properly
remove the application so that there aren't as many artifacts laying
around. This is a common problem with software installs though because
generally people don't want files in their home drive mucked with, so in
addition to cleaning up the registry, I think the application should have a
way of "upgrading" the .lmmsrc file so that the new 1.0.0 version and it's
theme get displayed properly.
