I don't think that was the concern.  The concern was the use of an older 
version that might have security
problems.  Can there be a way that the installer finds the LATEST 
version that will work with the
installed files?  I get irritated with multiple versions of the same 
software is installed on my machines.

Obviously, if the version "preferred" by the installer is the only 
version that the installed files will work with
is the only choice, then well, OK.  But if it's compatible with the 
latest version, maybe there is a way to make
sure that the latest version available is installed (that is compatible) 
rather than whatever it was built with....
but I am ignorant as to if this is feasible or not....or if testing is 
available to make sure that this works.
