I'm installing it in that way manually (well, more or less) the
problem is that recent 0.9.25 versions are getting configuration
settings from the user configuration settings path, so or you start
each install of Lazarus using the command line switch to use other
configuration folder or you must install each copy using a different
windows user.

Maybe the installer should ask for "import previous settings (if any)"
or create a new folder like "lazarus 0.9.25_<revision>" and drop there
the configuration, setting up the start link.

Everytime I install a new lazarus snapshot I should remember to add
the command line switch to use other config or the package builder
becomes crazy, telling me that all packages are installed and no one
(except the default ones) is installed in fact.
