It's a headache with no good answer that I've come up with.  I have the 
same problem with a traditional installer that brings along components 
that might be shared, that might have already been present.

So far the best answer I've got is "delete everything you might have 
brought along, whether or not you installed it, as long as nobody else 
has declared a dependency on it".  That's not awful for middleware, but 
it's wrong for anything the user might interact with directly.
