Description webistrator 2011-06-14 23:57:03 UTC 
When installing 3.3, I chose not to install in c:/program files/... but instead in d:/program files/... on the D partition of my HD where I already had 3.2.

Instead, 3.3 left my old 3.2 component subdirectories on D: and installed on C:/program files/, which I did not want.

Now I have 3.2 components on d:/program files/ and 3.3 on c:/program files/. And when I invoke "Control Panel/add & remove programs" to manually remove 3.2, it is no longer listed in the program listing. Only 3.3 is listed. I had to use I/O Bit's "Advanced system care" to force removal of 3.2.

So 3.3 installation, at least when choosing a user-specified location, is not very clean!

Cheers...

getting rid of value "enhancement" for field "severity".
For enhancement the field "issue type" shall be used.
