What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?
set GOROOT=C:\Program Files\Go
set GOTOOLDIR=C:\Program Files\Go\pkg\tool\windows_386
set GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1
What did you do?
Run installer go1.6.3.windows-386.msi, it didn't detect existing 1.6.2 installation, so I thought that maybe it is a feature to run multiple versions of Go side by side. Pointed it to existing C:\Program Files\Go installation.
What did you expect to see?
Expected it at least to warn about non-empty directory, then tell me what is he going to do with it:
remove
blend its files inside
fail
What did you see instead?
I see request for administration privileges to continue installation.
