Now I've tested it again. That is, I manually re-associated
.e, .ex, .ew, and .exw files with my favourite Editor, and then
I installed Eu 3.0.0 again. This time, the Eu installer didn't 
touch the associations!
I believe previously there has been an error in my registry, maybe
due to an over-aggressive Registry Cleaner, or maybe I had played
too much with the registry. 
I'm sorry for the prior misinformation.
