Is it possible that you had Komodo 4.3 *running* when you installed 
Komodo 4.4.0a1 into the same directory? I believe that would result in 
the behaviour you saw.

I haven't yet been able to reproduce this problem with Komodo 4.3 *not* 
running. I will try to repro by installing 4.4.0a1 when 4.3 is already 
running to test my theory.

In any case, my plan is to change the installer to require the target 
directory to be empty to do the install -- to ensure you don't install 
over an existing Komodo installation. This is for two reasons:
1. It might be surprise to some that they use the same install dir.
2. Installing two different MSIs (with different MSI ProductCode's) to 
the same directory can make the MSI system unhappy. Reference counting 
is done on files in the install area so uninstall gets complex and, in 
my experience, unreliable.

Unfortunately I won't (at least not easily) be able to get the install 
to detect another Komodo installation in the same dir and uninstall it 
properly before proceeding with the install.
