Absolutely; I saw this but have not started digging in, nor did I make
a simple "ACK" reply, as probably I ought to have done.  Is there
anything in the tracker or otherwise I should do to "assign to
self"/claim/volunteer, or is the correct way simply to reply back
"thank you for the bug report, I plan to look <but-life|soonish>"?

Hello,

I have installed Emacs on Windows using emacs-29.1_2-installer.exe . It has=
 put a folder named =E2=80=9CEmacs 29.1=E2=80=9D in the Start Menu.  That f=
older has two icons =E2=80=9CEmacs=E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9CUninstall=E2=80=9D=
.

Then I installed emacs-29.2-installer.exe .  It asks =E2=80=9CSelect the St=
art Menu folder in which you would like to create program's shortcuts.  You=
 can also enter a name to create a new folder=E2=80=9D and the system sugge=
sts as name =E2=80=9CEmacs-29.2=E2=80=9D.  I =C2=ABClose=C2=BB to complete =
the setup with the suggested folder.  Now I have for each emacs version a s=
eparate directory under C:\Program Files\Emacs .

I also have two Start Menu folders: Emacs-29.1 containing =E2=80=9CEmacs=E2=
=80=9D and =E2=80=9CUninstall=E2=80=9D and Emacs-29.2 containing only =E2=
=80=9CEmacs=E2=80=9D.  I click on =E2=80=9CUninstall=E2=80=9D.  It says =E2=
=80=9CEmacs-29.2 will be uninstalled=E2=80=9D, despite being in the 29.1 fo=
lder, but it actually deletes the emacs-29.1 and emacs-29.2 files.  After t=
he deinstallation the Start Menu folders =E2=80=9CEmacs-29.1 and Emacs-29.2=
=E2=80=9D are still present.

=E2=80=A2 Uninstalling emacs should remove the Start Menu directories, crea=
ted during installing emacs.
=E2=80=A2 Installing emacs should ask to first remove the previously instal=
led emacs version, as long as it does not do inplace upgrade (substitution)=
.

Kind regards
  =D0=94=D0=B8=D0=BB=D1=8F=D0=BD
