Q: What does it mean:
Unpack it with subfolders and replace existing files from the last full
release.
I've downloaded the zip. I can open it, but then do what?
Regards,

If you unpack the cab file,
the resulting Folder should contain a structure of subfolders.
For 4.5.4 beta - build 2315 there are subfolders
\Lang
\Skin
\Script
and several files in the main folder of the archive.
If it is your case, everything is ok;
however, there are some unpackers (e.g. windows built-in support),
which don't retain the subfolders and unpack everything in the main folder;
some functionality - e.g. GUI languages ... of the program is then not
available.
In that case you can use some appropriate unpacking tool,
such as 7-zip www.7-zip.org
The usual upgrade of a beta version
overwrites the previous files of the full
or the previous beta version
- supposedly in a separate "testing" folder
(after making sure, thet you won't overwrite any files,
you have tweaked/modified).
.
In summary:
* download the beta archive (from the beta forum)
* unpack it that way you get sub folders
* close PSPad
* be sure to rename setting files you have modified and wanna keep
(or copy the whole PSPad folder. You can use several versions side-by-side)
* copy the unpacked beta folder over your PSPad full version (from the PSPad
homepage)
* if an dialog appears asking for overwriting files, choose YES
* start PSPad .... you're done.
