I think it's better to determine at installation time which version 
should be used.  I wrote a batch file (attached) that you can call from 
the installer that does the renaming if necessary.  Before running it 
you should have already installed lilypad.exe as the unicode version and 
lilypad-ascii.exe as the ascii (Win9X/ME) version.  (It takes care of 
other possible permutations, just in case, but I can't really envision 
it ever being used that way...).
