None that I'm aware of.  Perhaps an "extract only" option could be 
added to the installer.

I suggest renaming your current coLinux directory, then running the 
installer to install coLinux to your usual coLinux directory (so the 
registry entries stay the same), but on the "Choose Components" 
page, deselect everything but the "coLinux" item.  After 
installation, rename the old and new coLinux directories to restore 
the old coLinux directory's previous name (which was usurped by the 
new coLinux installation).
