Description
Today in the gitter there was a student who already used exercism CLI 2.x and came back after more than a year of pausing.
The student tried to use the built-in upgrade command of the CLI (it is so far unknown if the student did a manual installation, used choco or even an older version of the installer) which failed due to exercism/cli#645.
The installer should be able to recognize if there is already a file called `exercism.exe` available in PATH and offer to repair the installation in the old location.
As an addition it would even recognize a `choco` bin-stub and tell the student to uninstall using `choco` first before proceeding with the installer.
