I agree. There is no need for multiple versions of THG on the same machine.
The experiment was to determine the results of a user that did not read or
understand the importance of uninstalling 0.4.1 before installing 0.5
I installed 0.5 in the same directory as 0.4.1 was installed, so the 0.4.1
files were overwritten by the 0.5 files.
As I see it, the most important task with respect to the installer is to
make it detect and uninstall older versions of THG.
Have I misunderstood you?
