Even this is very complicated. You see, an msi file is a database. There
are no loops or anything like this we could use to go over all installed
JAWS versions.
And of course, there's also the versioning: msi keeps track of all
versions it installs so it can properly uninstall everything again, or
repair an installation. But to do that, every file that it installs can
only have one single destination.
We would have to write a custom script which the msi can execute to do
such an installation.

That can be done.

It's possible, but requires custom scripts and isn't easy to do.

Well, I'm not so good with those either :)
