Description:
The RegDB value 'InstallLocation' is not set by the installer:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{F1BDFCD5-5A4C-4B60-BD59-C3E09743D228}]
..
"DisplayVersion"="5.0.17a"
..
"InstallLocation"=""
..

So it is easy possible to choose the correct version to remove, if multiple versions are installed.

How to repeat:
install and look into RegDB

Suggested fix:
set the value when installing the software.
