Multiple Atom release channels can't be installed side-by-side on Windows #9247
Description
Expected
According to the beta info page Atom Beta should "run side-by-side with Atom stable". To me that reads like I should be able to have both the beta and stable installed (and even running) simultaneously on the same system (like with Chrome's stable & beta releases) and there should be separate links to run each build.
Actual
On Windows (7 x64), when I install the beta (1.1.0-beta1), it replaces the context menu "Open with Atom" shortcut and the start menu shortcuts with the beta so there is no apparent way to run stable without reinstalling.
Reinstalling stable works but it replaces all the shortcuts with links to the stable version so there is no way to run the beta without re-installing.
