Blech

Following up on myself :(

OK, it failed again, so I downloaded the new version and installed it 
manually.

The first time I tried it refused, because an earlier version was 
installed. This seems weird:

Auto installing a new version as a detected update happily over-writes 
an older version

Manually installing a new version fails unless the prior installed 
version is manually uninstalled.

I can't see any logical reason that a manually started install of a new 
version can't automatically de-install the previous version in the same 
way that I presume the automatic update does?

Ok, maybe an extra dialogue to confirm:

[de-install previous version y/n?]

but not a complete failure?

I'll raise this as a new bug in the installer tool. In the meantime, if 
anyone else finds they need to manually install 0.29, you may find you 
need to deinstall 0.28 first (it may be an os related quirk, I'm running 
millenium on this machine).

On a sort of related note ..... David, do you want to specify Windows 
Millenium as the earliest supported os? I don't know if anyone here is 
running anything older.
