Separate Windows Installer Registry Entries for JACK and ASIO

[pljones]

What is the current behaviour and why should it be changed?

Currently the JACK and ASIO Jamulus installers for Windows share a registry key. This is not optimal where both versions are wanted as updates and uninstalls "get confused".

Describe possible approaches

• We could keep things as they are now
• We could add subkeys for JACK and ASIO
• We could use separate keys for JACK and ASIO

For migration from the current approach, I think separate keys is probably easier although subkeys is probably the technically better approach.

Has this feature been discussed and generally agreed?

One of my off-topic ramblings kicked this off.

If subkeys are doable, we should use them.

It is more than just the registry. If you want ASIO and Jack versions to co-exist on one system, you will need also to either give them different app names or else have them install by default into different sub-directories too.
