The script will not even run if the install directory exists:

die "$buildroot/$branch has $pgsql or inst directories!"
if ((!$from_source && -d $pgsql) || -d "inst");

But the install process is different for MSVC. It could be that we are
screwing up there.

I no longer have an MSVC box, so I can't tell so easily ;-(
