Hi, The current installation instructions [1] (last updated on 2014-03-26) does not differentiate the clean installation and upgrade installation for Windows, thus it does not state the option to keep or delete the old version for an upgrade installation.
I propose development update the installation instructions [1] when submit the fix to bug 124599 [2], to provide what is expected to see with details as below: 1. Upgrade from old version to relative new version (e.g. from 3.3 to 3.4.1, from 3.4.1 to 4.1.0, from 4.0.0 to 4.1.0, etc) 2. Specify the different behavior/experience on all platforms (Windows, Linux and Mac) - I do not see problems in the current instructions on Linux and Mac, but need confirmation That is essential, because for testers we need this as criteria for testing, and for end users we need this as instructions for guiding.
