I downloaded and ran the new installer.
It seems to have worked, I used the Install in versioned directory
option and it created a new folder called 3.0.4 with two sub folders:
include and vc2005, the vc2005 has two sub folders Debug and Release
with the dll and lib file copied into them.
I am not sure which versions of the dll and libs it copied as I have two
separate builds the standard build and a Windows Forms version (compiled
with /clr).
