    If you REALLY care about duplicate entries in add/remove programs (it really doesn't matter if they are there), then just go delete the registry key from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall

    Who sits and looks at add/remove programs all day? You only go there if you plan on removing something, which is pretty rare. Besides, if you REALLY care, how hard is it to delete a single registry key from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall ? Sure the installer could do that for you, or it could just re-use the existing key like it should, but it really is hardly worth caring about at all.

    It seems open-source software can be awesome, stable, extendable, and full featured, but never "polished" or even "fully finished".

    Sad.

    And I am a very pro-open source person.
