Bug Description
I had the 0.47 beta and 0.46 installed on my Vista 64-bit machine. I uninstalled the beta and installed Chris Morgan's first post beta 0.47 build. Once I was satisfied that was working, I uninstalled 0.46. Now, only the 0.47 post-beta build is installed. Today I noticed that 0.47 wasn't associated with the SVG file type. I was able to fix the problem, but I figure that some other users might run into this problem.
When two versions are installed, both should be registered independently with Windows. That gives the user a choice of which version to open files with. Then when you uninstall one, the remaining version is still registered.
So this could be a bug in the installer, the uninstaller, or both.

What would it take for Inkscape to detect and repair the registry registration?
