WARNING: After install error: FR Pro deleted my library path!

I have for the last 2 years used the FR 4 Standard components, doing regular updates as they were available, and never had any problems.
Recently we purchased the Professional license, and for the first time today, I downloaded the latest (fr4_10_12_d14p.exe) installer available.
For my surprise, after installing it, nothing else compiled (couldn't even find system.pas).
(Delphi 2010 with all updates installed)
The actual procedure was:
- unistalled previous version with FR Standard installer.
- deleted old FastReports folder from Win\Program files\
- installed latest FR Professional.
Then I checked my Environment Options- Delphi Options - Library - Win32 - Library Path, and it contained this only line:
;C:\Program Files\FastReports\FastReport 4\LibD14
Clearly the installer (or the Uninstaller of the the Std version) lost the original path.
Of course now it's impossible to tell you what my original setting was exactly, but I asked a colleague for his setting on his computer, that should be similar to mine, and his was:
$(BDS)\lib;$(BDSUSERDIR)\Imports;$(BDS)\Imports;$(BDS)\Lib\Indy10;$(BDSCOMMONDIR)\Dcp;$(BDS)\include;C:\PROGRA~1\JCL\lib\d14;C:\PROGRA~1\JCL\source\include;$(DXVCL)\Library\Delphi14;C:\Program Files\FastReports\FastReport 4\LibD14;C:\Program Files\UniSynEdit\Source
Please investigate.
