Are they?

Anyway - as far as I can see, the usual solution appearing with other
programs on MS Windows is either defaulting new version to the directory
used for the previous one and/or suggestion that you should uninstall the
previous version before installing the new version and that you're on your
own otherwise. ;-)

I guess that we can go beyond this by adding a more specific note about
possibly necessary manual editing of the PATH variable if people decide to
upgrade while keeping the previous version to the readme and FAQ...
