Now I have for each emacs version a separate directory under C:\Program Files\Emacs .

It says “Emacs-29.2 will be uninstalled”, despite being in the 29.1 folder, but it actually deletes the emacs-29.1 and emacs-29.2 files. After the deinstallation the Start Menu folders “Emacs-29.1 and Emacs-29.2” are still present.
