Hello, Indeed I faced the same problem. I am preparing myself to write here about my experiences with Shoes and noticed problems. Your post targets the one I would mention. So, the Shoes under Windows copies the application to its cache. It is placed under the user directory (as far as I remember). It's somewhere in the ApplicationData or sth. And even you describe the shy file and tag it as a new version in the packager it is treated as the same installed application. This behaviour depends on file name only. If you change the file name then it will be recognized as the new one and copied again. But under the new directory. Shoes seems have no ability to clean up the cache or update it. Of course you may want to clean the cache (a kind of temporary files) manually.
