The installer must do something. Else you'd either never have LilyPond in you 
PATH or you'd have dozens of them as it concatenated the PATH every time you 
installed new. 

@Ming Can you tell us if you run add/remove programs before you install a later 
version? and if so what version did you have installed before 2.13.54?
