Thanks for the added explanation. Given that the beta is scheduled for release in 3 days I'll look for a correction/fix there. However I still think it a good idea to figure out why the application installation failed to remove software-store from System|Administration - if nothing else to prevent a similar event happening with this (or other similar) application installations.
