On your point #4 -- installing two versions should not stomp on each other. OpenEdge does make an effort to do this. That is why different versions use different install directories and different names for registry entries. The case you are talking about is that the new installation pointed to a web server in common with the old installation and in the install you said you did want to copy the WebSpeed cgi files to that web server. We have also had comments from many people that they don't want to have each cgi-bin and each URL going to WebSpeed to be "versioned". No one has wanted the URL to have a different format each version of OpenEdge. This "feature" goes back to the second version of WebSpeed. I agree that the default installation should not overwrite an old installation, but I also think that if a customer explicitly points to a common location the OpenEdge installer should honor that. But your first point was that the documentation should be clearer if this is what is happening and perhaps the installer should check and warn in this case. Both those make sense.
