 I've been in the habit of installing over my existing installations just
 to see if the new versions break anything that was installed before. It
 has worked until fairly recently but, with the past few release candidates
 I've been getting a dialog box popping up that reads "An error was
 encountered and the installation was not completed. Error: File or
 Directory already exists". This happens pretty much as soon as copying
 starts (15 of 22645). I have a screenshot I can attach if necessary.

 Do I need to attach a syslog for this?
