Unfortunately, #1 is not a solution because the installer installs files
in a separate directory first, in case something goes wrong before
completion, it doesn't override, change or remove existing installation
until installation is successfully completed (which is IMHO very smart
from Benny).

The only option is to fix the installation, which is not that hard...
I'll take care of that.

Cheers,
Olivier.
