:) Yeah it looks like a bug to me.
The culprit is in CMakeCPack.cmake where it sets
CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY.
That registry key is patch version specific, while the default install
directory is minor version specific. So overwriting a previous install will
still create a new set of registry keys, and a new entry in Add/Remove
programs.
