Then it should give us the choice, as SolidWorks does, to upgrade or have a new install.

It's not a reason. It could be in a sub-folder of SolidWorks. Like when I install Photoshop, the Imageready exec is installed in the same folder and I never have to worry about it. Or at least give it a real group in Program Files if you have to take into consideration when it's installed stand-alone.

Thanks
eDrawings by design installs major versions without uninstalling the old one in order to support side-by-side installations of SolidWorks/PDMWorks (2006 with 2007, etc.). But this is true for major versions only. Service pack installs within the same version will overwrite the old SP.
This is also part of the reason why it is installed in Common Files\eDrawings - it is a common component used by other SolidWorks applications.
I agree with you about the shortcuts everywhere; this should be addressed as soon as possible.
Thanks for your feedback.
