This is a fundamental feature of the Windows OS paradigm. It regards the unique attribute of any application as the application name. Therefore, for any given application name you can have a maximum of one installation. The advantage of this is that it is easy to upgrade - the installer for the new version sees that there is already an application registered with its name and so removes it first before installing itself in its place. The disadvantage, as you are discovering, is that it is impossible to have two versions of the same application (btw, this is true for *any* application - try installing two versions of WMP or IE or Netscape or whatever). The Unix paradigm is that different versions of programs are just different files - they don't do anything until they are executed so you can have as many versions as you like, so long as they have different filepaths. The disadvantage of this approach is that you have to think when you're upgrading - you need to remove the old version manually or remember to divert paths or symlinks to point to the new version. You pays your money, you takes your choice...
