* Milestone Update from 3.1.0-beta1 to 3.0.7
Comment:
The directory name is only a part of the problem. Also registry keys overlap, and that's arguably a bigger problem, and it affects also older branches.

Ticket details:
In S3_0 we had just "win32" and "win64" targets, and Windows has separate directory hierarchies for those. But in S3_1 we have "win64" and "win64-10", which Windows installs (by default) to the same hierarchy. Their directory names should differ, so that they can be installed in parallel (especially for our own testing / debugging), and not to overwrite each other. Such overwrite likely mess things so that clean uninstall of both installations will require extra hacking from user's side.
