User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-AU; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041103 Firefox/1.0RC2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-AU; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041103 Firefox/1.0RC2

Upon upgrading from Firebird RC 1 to Firebird RC 2 I noticed the following
entries still in my registry. 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Mozilla
Firefox (1.0RC1)
This one in particular has the effect that there are two uninstall entries in
add/remove, one for Firebird RC1 and on for Firebird RC2.
Futher entries left in the register by the installer that should probably not be
there are upgrade are;
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox 1.0RC1\bin
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox 1.0RC1\Extensions
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox 1.0RC1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox 1.0RC1\bin
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox 1.0RC1\Extensions
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox 1.0RC1

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade from Firebird RC1 to Firebird RC2 on Windows XP
2. Look in Registery, noice old Firebird RC1 entries
3. Look in add/remove, notice entries for both Firebird RC1 and Firebird RC2

Actual Results:  
See steps to reproduce

Expected Results:  
removed uninstall entry and other register entries for Firebird RC1 upon
upgrading to Firebird RC2
