Upgrading has been broken for several versions so you need to do a new 
installation.


The SeaMonkey project is proud to present SeaMonkey 2.53.6: The new 
release of the all-in-one Internet suite is available for download now 
! 2.53.6 is an incremental 
update from the 2.53.x branch and incorporates a number of changes, 
including improved usability of multiple mailboxes/folders selection, 
Greek localization, and fixes from the underlying platform code. 
*Before installing it make a full backup of your profile and 
thoroughly read and follow the Release Notes 
*. 


At the very top of those Release Notes it states:

*You MUST absolutely do a full backup of your profile before upgrading 
from a version earlier than SeaMonkey 2.53.1. This version of 
SeaMonkey makes changes to your profile that can't be reverted in 
cases where you need to go back to the older version.*


*Automatic upgrades from previous versions are currently disabled for 
this release. Please download the full installer from the downloads 
section and install SeaMonkey 2.53.6 manually over the previous version.*




Hope that helps.

You forgot to point out that - starting with 2.48.5 - Windows versions 
of Seamonkey come as 32-bit and as 64-bit versions.  If you move between 
the two you need to deinstall the old version (after downloading the new 
one) before installing the new one.

Yes SM suns on W 10.  However, starting with Netscape, I have never 
caused or allowed any Mozilla app to write over another version.  Newer 
is not always better, and combining versions can sometimes be 
"interesting"  I install each version in it's own space, at a place of 
my choosing.  And never on a boot partition.  And when I decide I prefer 
a later version to an earlier, I delete the earlier; and not before.


I have had some issues with recent versions.  As a result I currently 
have eight SM versions and two Pale Moon.  Some SM versions share a 
profile and some have their own.  All SM versions that I configure to 
access email all use the same mail files.


Mozilla apps are very friendly in how they can be managed.

WINDOWS 10 UPGRADE WITH SEAMONKEY V 2.33.1

[BER]

Hello,
Please see my email below. I have decided to upgrade to Windows 10. Will 
Version 2.33.1 work with Windows 10 and should I be able to upgrade to 
the latest version of Seamonkey?

Thank you

Hello Everyone,

I have been using Seamonkey for a very long, long time over 15 years. 
I want to install the newest version but I am concerned I will screw 
it up and lose my emails. I am still on version 2.33.1 because my 
automatic updates fail and I don't know why.


Is there a step by step manual or written process I can find or buy 
before I attempt this upgrade? I am still on Windows 7, 64 bit.


Any help would be greatly appreciated and I am willing to pay for 
someone's time to help me with this upgrade. Its time I finally tackle 
this issue. I can't send to newsgroups either and I do not know why.

Thank you,
Brenda

We have been advised that, if you are trying to install the x64 
version
of 2.49.5, you must first remove the x32 version (only version) of 
2.49.4.



Now that you have tried installing 2.49.5 x64, you must first uninstall
it before installing 2.49.5 x32.

Since something has to be uninstalled, I would uninstall BOTH 2.49.4 x32
and 2.49.5 x64.  Then reinstall 2.49.5 x64, which will use you old
profile.  If things are strange, however, restore your profile from the
saved version.  I installed 2.49.5 x64 and did not have to do anything
with my profile from 2.49.4 x32.
