In theory yes, having the installer uninstall an earlier version should be sufficient. There are some odd cases though where the installer doesn't uninstall *all* files and hence older files remain in place. I have never been able to figure out what were the conditions for this to happen. I only have a few clues: * If a file was altered since the installation, it will not always be uninstalled * If the file is still open (for example because gnucash is still running) it won't be uninstalled. So perhaps one of these was at play ? Note that not everyone updating gnucash on Windows runs into this, so there are certainly cases where the installer properly does what it should.
