Horror - version 5.1 deleted cached program installers

[brajiv]

I updated from 4.5.0.4 to 5.1.0.0.

For safety reasons, my executable was stored not in c:, but at "E:\PatchMyPC". Upon updating, I find that the previously cached versions of all the Patch My PC apps have been deleted, including the directory. The logs have been left in the place.

Deleting these is unwarranted and has removed the ability to safely go back in case any problems with the updated versions.

The new installer has no business deleting the cached files.
