bugfix/modification.. 6 of one half dozen of the other.. point is that right now it's a modification that folks need to make to the IH files until I submit an update to IH4 (plan to do this next week)

Ummmm it does "backup the existing version on the site". I do believe that we make mention of this in the readme.. It's certainly been spoken of a few times in the forum.

The only difference between this installer and installing manually is that it always creates back-ups of overwriten files. Which has been a source of many many problems on the support threads.
