Correct.  On Windows you can only have one copy at a time.  It used the
registry to report the location of the installed version.  When you
install 2.3.15 it overwrites the registry and makes 2.2.9 fail to find
itself.

I'm not 100% sure this will work.  I think there may be some C code that
is locale-specific, too.  I could be wrong; Christian would know for sure.
