I don't see how anything can be done about that. It
also doesn't seem like too serious a problem -- it's
no worse than what currently happens if you install an
older version over a newer one, i.e. associations revert
to the old version.

Making the launcher a separate install at least offers
a way of fixing that if it happens and isn't desired,
i.e. reinstall the launcher.
