Upgrading question

And I released a new version yesterday!

I always install over the top, so I don't think you'd have any problems doing this. Always nice to have a backup in case though!

I've haven't had any major problems upgrading new releases over an existing installation.

Trixmoto's backup script works great and makes it simple to have a good backup.

Couple of questions.
I have a older version 2.4.1. Is it wise to install the new 2.5.3 over this one ? Will it be a problem? I'm thinking it might be a bit old to upgrade...fresh install would be best?

If I backup my scripts and plugins folders, my mediamonkey.ini and database file, I can just paste them to the new installation folders and the database with playlists and everything will be intact?

You should always back up...just in case.

You can try my "Backup" script to ease backing up - but I always install over the top!

I always install the new over the old without an issues I can detect.

If you do want to uninstall 1st.
Backup your scripts and plugins folders, your mediamonkey.ini and your database file.
You'll also have to re-enter your registration code so have that handy too.

I'm planning to upgrade my Gold version of 2.5.2 to 2.5.3... I assume I simply install the new version over the old, or do I have to uninstall the old version first? Thanks.
