[mapguide-internals] Installation directory structure

[Zac Spitzer]

no version number makes side by side installs tricky
and if you look at things like say ms office or autodesk apps
they both use a version number in the sub dir?

anyone know what's best practise these days in ms world?

guess it's different with later versions ?

Jason suggested locking down the Server and Webextension directories which I think is a good idea. The less number of configurable paths, the better.
