Yes, it is a known issue that was "fixed" in Komodo 4.3 -- I believe, I
may be wrong at that the fix was in the 4.4 alphas/betas.
Here the "fix" is to get it right from that point on rather than
getting, say, the Komodo 4.4 installer/updater to go back and clean up
old desktop shortcuts. We *could* (and should) fix Komodo's auto-update
to clean up old shortcuts, quick launch links, Start Menu program group
names and "Add/Remove Programs" meta data -- but haven't done that yet.
Regarding the install directory: the default install dir for 4.2
includes the ".2". Komodo's auto-update for 4.3 and 4.4 cannot *change*
the install directory after the fact.
To get everything very clean you could go to Start > Settings >
Add/Remove Programs and uninstall all versions of Komodo. Then install
Komodo 4.4. After that the directory names, shortcuts, etc. should be
correct for updates (*).
Sincerely,
Trent
(*) With the remaining exception that the version number in Add/Remove
Programs is still not being updated.
