Not that it matters, but I don't think that is accurate.

Installers install, even if there is a pre-existing copy (it's called "updating").

And most installers (including the one that installs MA3 10d) do not replace existing files, like C:\Users\YOU\AppData\Roaming\Marine Aquarium 3\MA3Playlist.lst and MA3Logolist.lst, if they already exist (unless a file format change is necessary).

I understand Jim's reason for not doing it. I just note that the installer version would have eliminated the confusion between "how Nicki did it" and "how I did it", and why there were differing results. And the few hours that Nicki and I spent unnecessarily.
