[issue3636] Managing dual 2.x and 3.0 installations on Windows

[Brian Curtin]

Brian Curtin <curtin at acm.org> added the comment:

This won't solve the problem of dual installations, but it'll leave things how you were expecting... There is an option in the installer on the customize page for "Register Extensions". Choosing to not install that item will keep the installer from modifying the path and file association.

I think we could probably have a message on the installer to say that the "Register Extensions" feature would be overwriting your previous settings if it finds settings of a previous version.
