Hi,
I installed beta 2 a couple of months ago, and today I installed RC 5
and it seems there is no way to tell the installer where to actually
install, so I could not re use my data cluster from the beta 2(with out
renaming the directory to the same name as what the installer would
install).

I am not sure it this is a limitation of the MSI installer or it was
just overlooked.

Also why do all the PG projects insist on using M$ installer
technology? A better choice would be Inno Setup at
http://www.jrsoftware.org. It's a ton easier to use and would be a
better choice than msi.
