Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/issues/833

I had ScreenToGif 2.28.0 installed via ScreenToGif.2.28.Setup.msi installed in win10 x64 20h2.

Today, I wanted to update to the new version, 2.28.1 .
So I tried:

• downloading ScreenToGif.2.28.1.Setup and running it,
• (uninstalling+reinstalling 2.28.0 and) updating via the program itself,

and in both cases,
in windows "Programs and Features": the old 2.28.0 entry remained and an additional 2.28.1 created:

This shouldn't occur because the updated program still has the same ScreenToGif directory:

Thank you
