Brandon,
:) I'm guessing that your software registers itself with windows under
the binary name sword.exe
This is the same executable name that we register. :) I'll look into
adding an extra check beyond the executable name. Actually this
'upgrade' feature was added to the installer to move users from our old
configuration method using a mods.conf file to the newer mods.d/
directory of individual mod config files. The setup with migrate their
installed module set to the newer configuration. I don't suppose many
people are still upgrading from versions that far back. It's been a
year or so now. Having said all this, we may consider just removing the
'upgrade' check.
Thanks for reporting the ambiguity!
