Comment:

 > Could we have (at least) the Windows installer detect when the selected
 directory already contains a Tor Browser and warn the user that they are
 likely to run into problems?

 Yes, it can and do check if target directory already exists.

 installer/blob/master/torbrowser.nsi#L46
 It warns and allows user to process if they'd want to continue.
