    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.

    The version number is NOT 1.02, it's 1.0.2.

    You insensitive clods.

    Learn to post. I didn't.

    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.
