Hi,

at work we're using a W2K-domain with roaming profiles.

Now I tried to install 5.10.x on a new PC, but the process was aborted, because the installer wants to remove an older version first!

Of course there isn't any, that information obviously came from the roaming profile of my account.

Unfortunately there no "IGNORE"-action, so the installation is aborted, and I have to manually search the registy for that {12345-xxxx}-key mentioned by the installer and delete it!

I would be very pleased if this could be fixed.

Another issue, by the way:
Did I mention, that it's STILL impossible to install as a SYSTEM-service? I believe so...
Anyway, whatever the reason may be - if I do an UPGRADE, why can't the installer leave my settings alone??? Every time not only I have to reset the service to SYSTEM (after unnecessarily having to grant service-access to an account which doesn't need to have it), but also patch the registry because I prefer to have "allow-gui-rpc". This is quite annoying. >:(
