It should be relatively safe to install the new version side by side with the old version.
(By the way, when you say the 'ZIP' download, which download are you referring to? There are the Windows exe download, the Unix tar download and the genric jar download.)
Besides, there are two things you have to watch out when moving to the new version:
1. If you are migrating from a very old version, i.e. pre beta-2 (Build-011015), the cpx project file is incompatible with new format and Camino will tell you it cannot read the cpx file. If that's the case, you have to recreate the project.
2. The new version takes the web.xml into account. If Camino doesn't find the location of web.xml defined in the cpx file (that is the case for the cpx's coming from the old versions), it may not be able to find file. If that's the case, you may have to open the cpx file in a text editor and change the location in the <web-app> element:
<camino-project version="1.0">
<name>horoscope</name>
<description/>
<struts-config version="1.0">...</struts-config>
<web-app version="2.2">horoscope/WEB-INF/web.xml</web-app>
<ant-script version="1.3"/>
of which the path is relative to the location of the cpx file.
Please do not hesitate to contact me or post to the mailing list if you have further questions.

Hi,
When updating an existing installation with a new ZIP downloaded from your site, is it necessary to UN-install the old version? Is there anything in particular to be concerned with as far as migrating existing projects?
Thanks,
Rick
