I had newbies in mind with little or no knowledge about LDraw who wanna give it
a try when I set up the new AIOI. Therefore it will never carry LDDP, DatHeader
or other part author stuff. I could code in checking for an existing
installation but only to uninstall before a new, clean setup.

Basically an install into a different root folder would solve most issues since
the uninstaller would erase any trace. Unfortunately the AIOI is going to
overwrite paths and settings in the registry and some .ini files so you would
have to backup the registry first and roll back after uninstalling the AIOI,
'cos the AIOI uninstaller will delete all MLCad, LDView and LPub keys at
shotdown.
