Yes, the /bin directory is now in Program Files; but should go into {app}\..
\bin, whereever that {app} directory is.  I'll try.

Gforth puts its own installation directory into PATH, but can't remove it; 
that's a shortcoming of the path adder script I use in Inno Setup.  Maybe 
there's now something better which will be removed at uninstall.

However, if you just keep old Gforth versions around, this doesn't help.

Adding Gforth to PATH is done so that you can use it from the normal command 
line.  If you want multiple Gforth versions around, please install a 
minimalistic Cygwin, and use the bindist tarball and "make install" from 
that one.  That's gonna install gforth-<version> so that you can call 
different versions.  The setup.exe will never be as good as Gforth within a 
Cygwin installation.
