    Description

      Currently only the product name is used for the uninstall registry key (PackageManagerCorePrivate::registerPath()).
      In case there are several versions installed in parallel or there is a product name clash a newer installation will overwrite the entry for the already existing installation.
      At least the version number should be added to the key name. Or even better use a GUID: "The values are stored in a subkey identified by the application's product code GUID."
