Couldn't it also happen if the first time someone did an "admin" install 
which (I believe) puts the DLLs in the system folder, and the next time 
did just a non-admin install which doesn't do that?  (Or am I 
misunderstanding the conditions under which c:\windows\system32 has 
files written to it?)
