'MapObjects 2.1 is already installed' notice during MapObjects 2.0 re-installation

After uninstalling MapObjects 2.1, while attempting to re-install MapObjects 2.0/2.0a, the installation program may alert users that MapObjects 2.1 is already installed.

Also, after uninstalling MapObjects 2.1, the MapObjects 2.0 applications on the same machine may still exhibit MapObjects 2.1 behavior.
