No matter what it's called, tho, it's brand new software, not an update.
ROFLMAO - Now that's a bit hard to swallow. Granted it might be a complete rework of the code but to say it's brand new software (as though not related is a bit of a stretch).
I get where you're coming from but I still have to stand my ground as I've been doing installs/upgrades both workstation level and Enterprise Server level and there are a few applications (Adobe Acrobat Reader is one) that ignore the same path/file/prefs/etc... update but then again they come from a MAC background which is quite like Linux methods of install.
I've installed and upgraded Enterprise software from a few hundred dollars to over $100K and none of them upgrade to a different path. They add a ton of features maybe but your prefs and path etc remain the same.
