Deinstalling/Installing S60 3rd SDK

When deinstalling the SDK for Nokias S60 3rd platform the registry key HKLM/Software/Nokia/com.nokia.s60/Instances contains the count of the installed SDKs. This registry key is not set back to 0. So when installing the SDK again the instance key is increased by 1. But the installation path suggested by the installer now contains a _2.

For avoiding this you can manually reset the instance key to 0 after deinstallation and do a fine new installation rightafter.
