I'm currently running Windows version 2.5.1 and would like to upgrade to 2.5.2. My question is, can I just go ahead and install the new version over the old or should I remove the old version with add/ remove programs first? The old version is in a directory named Python25.
You can do either. Since there's no change of major version the executable will have the same path, and the deinstall handily leaves all files that weren't part of the original install in place. So if it suits your sense of neatness, by all means deinstall before reinstallation.
Note that this *doesn't* work for (say) 2.4 to 2.5, since they can coexist. In that case normally the most recently installed version will be the default. I had a Windows system a while back with 2.1 through 2.5 installed, and 2.4 as the default.
