As a former user of InnoSetup as an install creator, it all depends on 
how the installer is written.
It can be written as an updater/patcher or as a full installation.

The FOR-loop counting down from 9 to 0 should work good and allows a 
clean remove.

You can always remove and reinstall on upgrade, it really depends on how 
the installer has been configured.

In addition there are many installers using an old version old 
InnoSetup, so they don't benefit of the bug fixes in newer versions of 
InnoSetup.
