Probably the Epson install used the same install program (Installshield
and Wise are the two common ones) and put the install info for it in
with the install program there. When you ran the Kodak one, it put the
info somewhere else, but overwrote the Epson copy of the program.

It is not usual for program installations to put *either* in My
Documents - usually the info for uninstalling is put in the programs own
folder, or Installshield now has also a folder of its own - C:\Program
Files\InstallShield Information with a separate folder for each
installation it has done. and a folder C:\Program Files\Common
files\Installshied for the install program itself
