A few setup problems indicated here:

1. If a change is the default, it should be on the short list.
2. Since the listed test version was installed, that should be the default.
3. setup.ini has a [prev] but no [curr] - if you have a prev and test
   with no curr, which should be installed?

Thanks!  That helped.  I'll have to try it on my machine to be sure, though,
as it kinda looks like setup wanted to keep the previous version installed,
which doesn't correlate to your installed.db.

It's supposed to be appended to the version number, like "20001012 (x)".
Might be yet another bug.
