Bug Description

Hi,

Gunchleoc reported that with 3 versions installed (B18,B19rc1, one recent Appveyor build) when he uninstalled the Appveyor build via control panel instead B18 got uninstalled.

I cannot reproduce this on my system.

All 3 version specify an unique AppID (at least Appveyor builds > master-1400), so every version should have it's own entry in the "Program and Features" list in the control panel.

If you are using older Appveyor builds (or older builds from widelands.8-schuss.de), these should only allow installing in the same dir and have one entry because they had all the same AppID. But they should not conflict with other release Builds (17, 18, 19rc1).

I would appreciate if some more people could test this with B18 + B19rc1 and recent Appveyor (>1400) and/or dev builds (> rev8165) from my page.

Some more testing:

I installed the following Widelands versions:

1. b19-rc1
2. b18
3. Widelands-master-1402

All into separate folders for the install, and separate folders in the Start menu.

Then I uninstalled them in reverse order, using the link in the Start menu.

The correct folder in the Start menu was deleted, the correct version was uninstalled, leaving only stdout.txt behind.

I'd like to repeat the test with uninstalling from the Control Panel before we mark this as invalid.

Verified the Control Panel uninstall procedure as the culprit - uninstalling Widelands-master-1420 removed build 19.

Cannot reproduce on Win10 with Build19-repack and a recent appveyor build.

Not sure if the tests from commen #2 were done before or after fixes committed on 2016/11/02 with rev8165.

With some more recent changes pushed today a set this bug to resolved.
