IIRC, there is a technical limitation with the installer that prevents
this. I may be wrong.

Even if I am wrong though, you're now suggesting that the download be
twice the size it is today. The MSI I have for 1.6.10 is 19MB - now
we're talking about 40MB, just to install a shell extension? Most
organizations are predominantly one version of one OS (my whole
department, with perhaps 3 exceptions, is 32-bit XP) - the benefit
would be marginal at best compared to the extra space & bandwidth, not
to mention any issues with the installer itself.
