Should check for cross platform previous versions?
--------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SSPCPP-406
                 URL: https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/SSPCPP-406
             Project: Shibboleth SP - C++
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Installation
            Reporter: Rod Widdowson
            Assignee: Rod Widdowson
            Priority: Minor

The msi installer checks to see whether each previous version has been installed, and throws a "Please uninstall first" message out if it finds one.

By inspection of the MSI the x64 installer only checks against x64 installs and the i386 installer only checks against i386.

Checking may in fact become tricky since the x32 installer will be running inside WOW32 and seeing a virtualized registry.  Indeed there may be reasons why the masochistic would want both versions installed.  In which case this can be closed as mistaken.
