Well the problem is that I specifically told him to install in the same  
folder and it told me
"in this case you won't install as a separate program but as an update of  
the exisiting version" which suited me fine because I didn't want to  
install it in a separate folder

Unfortunately I did and the installer let me do it telling me it would be  
an "update"
