Windows
If User installs into a dir were kodi is already installed ask if he wants to overwrite it.
- a. if user says “yes” – un-install former installation and install new
- b. if user says “no” – he stays at the folder selection page and can re-decide
If user installs into a different directory
- a. He said no on 1.b – kodi will just be installed in the different directory
- b. He selected the new directory initally without hitting the question in 1. – check if there is a kodi installation in another directory – if so – ask user if he wants us to un-install it. If no – kodi will be installed side by side
At the end of installation check for an old XBMC installation
- a. if found – ask if the user wants us to un-install it
- a1 if user said “yes” – un-install old XBMC installation and move the userdata – inform the user about the moved data
- a2 if user said “no” – keep the old XBMC installation and DON’T move the userdata – inform the user about the fact that kodi will use the default profile data.
