...if you know what you're doing.  If you don't, keep only the one that
'setup.exe' installs and keep it where it installed it.  Doing anything
else assumes that you know what you're doing and that you don't have to
query this list when something goes wrong.  That's why we recommend to
folks that inquire to keep one copy only.  Any other configuration is
unsupported by this list due to the complexities it introduces.
