well.... u've got me now^^ What is the damn problem with that? I'll always overwrite... and I will never ever delete them (ok actually... my script does that already from the very beginning^^)
Does the problem only reside inside the "share" folder cuz there r all the plugins? And thus there might be a renamed or even deleted one left, which then kills C::B?
Currently I'll compile C::B myself because I've made some for me important changes (and because I want to use mingw-builds instead of TDM as mingw-builds is always up-to-date) and because of that, I've written a batch file that copies C::B to my "install" location... it basically deletes the "share" folder + all .exe/.dll except my "wxmsw28u_gcc_custom.dll"
So it is a "clean install" already...
I would only suggest ppl to delete the "share" folder and overwrite everything else. Unused DLLs left shouldn't make a problem... only left out-dated plugins. You could even add a "clean.cmd" file to the nightly so that ppl execute that file before copying^^

As usual:
Debian packages (binaries and sources) for 32-bit and 64-bit systems can be found in my debian-repo.
Fedora packages (binaries and sources) for 32-bit and 64-bit systems (fc16, fc17 and fc18) can be found in my rpm-repo .

Some examples:
* If the SDK version changes this usually means an interface (API) is broken. If you then have old plugins (for example) you get errors or even crashes.
* If we change resource files (XRC's) and you don't update the resource ZIP's correctly you'll bet definitely crashes.
* If a DLL/plugin/app is compiled with a different compiler the ABI might have changed and you get crashes or mis-behaviour.
So yes: If you are certain what you do its safe to overwrite, but its definitely way more save to delete the folder before, especially if you have no idea about such stuff.
We want to go the fail-safe way here to avoid trouble in the beginning. Thus the explanation as it is.
carra:
This nightly still has the bug of inserting extra lines in abbreviations. It was described by hongwenjun for 4866, here: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,16983.msg115763.html#msg115763
I can't work with this at all since I make heavy use of abbreviations, so I will have to revert to previous versions for now :(

We will take care... (maybe its already resolved in SVN...)
