Rod Widdowson resolved SSPCPP-406.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

This is easier to do for the 64 bit install (which allows you to specify whether you are looking at the 63 bit registry or the virtualized 32 bit one) than it is for the 32 bit one (for which of course you only have the virtualzied registry.

For completeness both installed list all previous version in both architectures.

> 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.
