It just overwrites the node symlink.

The windows install for this took the liberty of removing my original nodejs install, removed the binary and batch files from the program files\nodejs directory, even though I opted to install iojs to its own folder. Nodejs shortcuts are removed from start menu, and path variables were removed as well.

Go to reinstall nodejs, and that install says a later version is already installed and cancels the install without giving me an option to install anyway.


i was talking about windows installer.
