Howto upgrade to 12.11 from 10.05 ?
« on: October 14, 2013, 12:25:13 am »
Hi,

Sorry for the obvious question but I couldn't see the answer anywhere.  When I upgrade to the latest version of C::B do I just install it over the top of 10.05 or should I uninstall the previous version first ?  Will my projects all still be there afterwards ?

Thanks,

Boo

On windows, its a big mistake to copy the files over the old installation.

On windows, I would un-install and delete the left over files in the CB Installation folder.
Then, install the new version.

Your projects should still be there assuming you did NOT put then inside the CB Installation Folder.
