Norman,
So, why didn't RS just stored the new (or corrected) registry keys
into a new folder starting with 2008r4 and left the "old" registry
keys in place for the previous versions? This wouldn't cause any
incompatibilities... and this is a solution that is very common to use
in Windows for these cases.

I'm really perplexed why RS didn't use such solution and preferred to
overwrite the registry keys *knowing* that this would cause
incompatibilities that wouldn't allow a previous version to run
simultaneously with 2008r4.
