0.91 installer does not update properly previous 0.48 installation, installs side by side

[Eugenia Cachia]

0.91 msi installer does not update properly 0.48 installation. After running 0.91 installer I have two there are two registry entries:

1.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Inkscape]
"DisplayName"="Inkscape 0.48.5"
"DisplayVersion"="0.48.5"

2.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{81922150-317E-4BB0-A31D-FF1C14F707C5}]
"DisplayName"="Inkscape 0.91pre4"
"DisplayVersion"="0.91"

The actually installed application is of v0.91, but it would be nice if the new 0.91 installer would also remove the 0.48 from the registry.

tested on WinServer 2008 x64

Please update the bug description with information about which installer was used (32bit/64bit, msi/exe).

I think this doesn't happen because 0.48.5 is a 32bit application and you installed the 64bit version of 0.91.

I have tested the update from v0.48 to v0.91 with both 0.91 installers ( x86 and x64), with the same result: after the update there are two registry entries, for 0.48 and for 0.91.
It would look much "cleaner" if the new 0.91 msi installer removes also all registry entries from the previously installed versions.

This is a known limitation of the new msi based installer.
I am sorry to not enough communicated this limitation.
Thee should not be such side by side installation using msi only.
