I was thinking about this in the early hours of the morning (as you do), and it struck me that it is a while since I actually examined the code for the installer. It doesn't check any ports for firebird and uses various techniques to search for an active server, as well as looking for known binaries in known locations. It is not perfect but it does the best it can. Anyway, as I said, I'll review the code today and see if it can be improved.
It also struck me that support for multiple installs in the installer may just never be possible. There is a lot of work involved at different levels. And it is even worse on linux. There, we are planning to move towards distro-specific packages and afaict, multiple installs are just not possible at the moment. I know I've had to do it manually. I don't know what the situation is on other platforms such as the mac.
