The supposed duplicate bug has no solution. Installing to a different folder cannot work because you don't get to pick where it is installing. The problem occurs well before you can specify an install location. Also, this is not a solution merely a workaround. Why can't I modify or uninstall a previous version of Thunderbird?

Choose custom install and you should be able to install into a different location. That bug will also handle the uninstall case.

Again the duplicate bug has no resolution. There is a link to a forum of questions but no response to the question at hand.

That the duplicate bug doesn't have a resolution doesn't make this a dupe, nor should you change the resolution to invalid. It's a dupe! ;) We also have bug 340535 which is closely related. I do think the question was answered in comment 3 here. It's certainly possible to install (using the installer, not through automatic update) into a non standard folder. Duping... please don't change it back again.
