True, the structure has changed, but there is also a new setuptex.bat
included (unless the installer doesn't fetch it).

No, it's not standard yet. It still needs to be improved and is not
yet completely stable. And many compotents from the old zips might be
missing (will be added if people request them).

That's why I suggested that it would be nice if the installer would
also work for people who want their MikTeX to coexist (it would skip
adding variables to registry).
