Well, most installers seem to correctly identify the installation
location of previous installations, regardless of how they got
there, presumably by inspecting the relevant parts of the registry.

TeXworks.

My understanding (which is frequently wrong) is that TeX Live
updates do not include binaries; was I wrong in this respect ?
