I think generally if the s/w is installed/registered and we try to install it
second time without un-installing previous one, it gives some notice
indicating the same.

Allowing second version to overwrite the first can also cause problems
similar to what is reported in this thread, basically what if the second
installation/registration is removed, won't it cause the first one to loose
messages?

There are other paths in the same code which already fires up
MessageBox.

So in that case shouldn't we get rid of MessageBox() or provide
alternate way of logging from pgevent module.
