Can you please remove this feature that you cannot install LyX if the
installer thinks it is already installed ?
This was once added by user request. The idea and consensus was that
one can install e.g. 2.0.7 over LyX 1.5.x until 2.0.6 but not over LyX
2.0.7 itself. This avoids problems with the installation and the
feature is in since an installer for 1.6.x.
This sounds like nonsense that installing 2.0.7 over 2.0.6 is ok, but
installing over 2.0.7 suddenly leads to problems.
I don't like the style of your answers. You explain me what the registry
is and how I can clean it up. Do you think I don't know this myself and
do you think that this is slightly relevant to the issue ?
In the meantime you say twice that there might be problems and there are
reasons to disallow LyX to install over the first version. Please tell
me then what these problems are.
