Have you tried telling your users to tell the installer not to do that?
IIRC, it's a simple checkbox option. I have a 64-bit 3.2 as my main, but
I also have a 64-bit 3.3, a 32-bit 3.2 and a 32-bit 2.7 installed, and
not once did any of the installers hijack the association.

Perhaps it only appears for "custom installations" (or whatever it's
called). I had no problem installing 3.3a1 and upgrading it to 3.3a2
while keeping 3.2.x as the default.
