Revo Uninstaller question

I realize this may not be the right newsgroup for this question,
but perhaps somebody who is familiar with Revo Uninstaller might
be able to shed some light on this:



I had version 1.93, which listed a total of 166 applications
eligible for removal. When I started to use it today, it gave me
an option to update to version 1.94, which I did.



I thought the newer version would replace the previous version,
but it simply installed itself IN ADDITION to the previous
version, so now I have both versions installed. That is not
really a problem, but what is puzzling is that the previous
version lists 166 applications, while the newer version lists only
116.



If anybody familiar with Revo can shed some light on this, I would
appreciate it.



Thanks,

George

One thing I'd do is try to find out the revision history of the different
versions, either on their own website, or some other one that might have it
(from a google search - I've done that, on occasion).

I'd also run them both together, and note or record which programs don't
show up in the new version, and see if maybe there's a common factor there,
that we can figure out.

Either the newer version is making fewer errors in its determination, or
it's just missing some programs still currently installed (which you may
know offhand, anyways). Or possibly the newer version knows it can't
remove some programs, so it's not listing those anymore.
