After installing 3.19 for Windows, 3.18 was not overwritten

[Horseflesh]

I almost always launch mp3tag via a Windows context menu option. After installing the new release 3.19, I noticed that launching mp3tag via the context menu opened the prior version, 3.18.

Opening mp3tag from the installed desktop shortcut opens 3.19 as expected.

After installing 3.19, I found that I now I have 2 copies of mp3tag.exe.

3.19 C:\Program Files (x86)\Mp3tag\Mp3tag.exe
3.18 C:\Program Files\Mp3tag\Mp3tag.exe

I am sure I can fix my setup, but I assume this is unintended behavior for the installer. When installing 3.19 (and every other prior version) I simply accepted all the installer defaults.

The first one is the 32bit-Version of Mp3tag, the installer is called mp3tagv319setup.exe
The second one is the 64bit-Version of Mp3tag, the installer is called mp3tagv319-x64-setup.exe (or in your case was mp3tagv318-x64-setup.exe)

Could it be that you mixed them?

You can have a look in your (windows) control panel for installed software. I assume you will see two different entries?

Definitely.

No, there is only one entry as they share the same name.

What most likely happened is that you've installed the v3.17 version to a different folder than an existing v3.15 version. I suggest uninstalling the version listed at the control panel (backup your settings and let the uninstaller keep them) and then remove what's left at either C:\Program Files and/or C:\Program Files (x86) manually. After that, reinstall the latest version and all should be good.

Yep, that was it. What a dumb mistake, haha. Sorry for the false alarm!
