This is a pet peeve of mine, why should an end user have to uninstall before installing the new version? Seems like shit coding to me.

Actually, just a crappy installer, because I don't know how many programs will automatically uninstall the previous version for you.

When I create installs with the Visual Studio Installer which is an msi creation utility for VB6, VC6, etc., the install it makes prompts you when it is already installed to uninstall or repair. So even this one is semi-smart.

I can see not spending the time to make the installer bullet proof on a free program. I'd hope the commercial version doesn't have that problem.
