SimpleIDE Windows Installer nukes all other Parallax software registry settings

[PropGit]

The SimpleIDE Windows Installer (at least v1.1.0) completely wipes all the registry keys from Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ParallaxInc before inserting it's SimpleIDE key.

This, of course, makes all other Parallax software behave as if it had just been freshly installed. Bad behavior.

SimpleIDE should only be removing SimpleIDE keys. Please verify.

I verified it myself after it was reported to me by a customer.

• Install and run BASIC Stamp Editor, Propeller IDE, Propellent, etc.
• Look at Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ParallaxInc\ using Regedit
• Install SimpleIDE v1.1.0
• Refresh view of Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ParallaxInc\
  • The ParallaxInc folder in the hive is now gone; the installer removed it

I can confirm this -- has been going on for a very long time. Same bug affects PropellerIDE.

I was looking at this issue today. The 1.1.0/1.1.1 installer has an uninstall statement to remove publisher. Whether that is actually used in the install is unknown. I'll release 1.1.2 to remove the statement.
