Windows software *many times* will fight other windows software or other versions of the same software, making it impossible to have 2 versions of the same program installed. Microsoft (and Microsoft Fans inside RB) tend to think this is perfectly acceptable behavior.

Admittedly, this is a generalized statement. The "why" of this is important.

The only issue involved here is shared files.

This has nothing to do with shared files
It is the registry entries that cause the problem
Prior versions wrote some entries to the registry but not as designed
Newer versions have changed this to be how it had been designed
The older versions expect those incorrect entries while the newer version expects the updated ones
