When running several installations of Kodi the easiest way is to run one installation and the others as portable (for the moment i have 4 Kodi installed/extracted).
When installing portable i check mark the option Do not create shortcuts so it won't override my shortcuts to my installed Kodi i have in C:\Program Files\Kodi, but if i do that it removes my existing shortcuts from Start, so now i don't have any Kodi shortcuts.
There should be an option in the installer to choose Portable were it only extract the files to the selected folder instead of messing up my existing installation by adding shortcuts and uninstaller information. It could even create a shortcut in the extracted folder with the -p to make it even easier for the user.
I have seen other program that have this option and when using portable there shouldn't be an option to add shortcuts to the Start menu and it shouldn't either remove any.
It shouldn't add it self to the Program & features (Uninstall) either because this will also mess up my existing installation. I can see it remembers my last installed/extracted Kodi when i run another version, so it seems to write to the Windows registry too.
