Description:
Currently, if you attempt to install a newer version of Connector/Net on a system with an
older version installed, the MSI installer will pop up an error message (attached) telling
you that the old version must be removed before the new version can be installed.

It would be a lot more user-friendly/less annoying if the installer not only detected the
presence of an old version of Connector/Net, but also prompted the user to uninstall that
old version via a Yes/No dialog. If "Yes" is chosen, the old version's uninstaller should
be invoked and then the new installation should proceed as normal; if "No" the new
installation should be aborted.

How to repeat:
N/A

This should probably go to Iggy and Installer. Reggie?
