This is a simple Terminal command to clean up your 'Open With…' menu if it displays duplicate applications.

Note: the 'Open With…' menu is available by right-clicking on a document in the Finder. It displays a list of compatible applications that can open the document.

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

Relaunch the Finder to see the effect (Alt-right-click the Finder icon to relaunch, or logout and login again).
