Upgrade to V3.1.1.94

[Sundancer]

Hi,

I am running V3.1.0.82 and want to upgrade to V3.1.1.94
System: W7, 64 bits, FSX, single PC, .NET 4.51

I read the 3.1.1.94 ReadMe file and latest V3.1.1 July 2014 version of the User Manual, but could not find the answer or did not get the message in the section about 'To Uninstall'

My questions are:
1) Do I have to uninstall V3.1.0.82 before installing V3.1.1.94
2) When the upgrade to V3.1.1.94 is ready do I have to build the database from FSX (again)

Thanks in advance

Hi Sundancer

All the information you want is in the ReadMe.txt file in the Plan-G v3.1.0.94 loaded directory.

@Ivanrk,
Thank you so much for your very helpful answer. I really do appreciate that.

@To all the others who maybe want to help me,
Yes, I read the ReadMe.txt file several times and I also read the User Manual, as I wrote in my original posting.

English is not my native language, therefore I wrote the sentence about not getting the message in the section about "TO UNINSTALL"
I am not upgrading from V2.x to V3.x, no I just want to update from V3.1.0.82 to V3.1.1.94
I can not find a passage in the ReadMe.txt file that I have to uninstall or not.

The section for "TO UNINSTALL" says:
TO UNINSTALL:
-------------
All of Plan-G's registry settings can be removed by running the ClearAllSettings.exe tool provided. This should be done before uninstalling. (NB, this step is unnecessary if you are simply updating to a newer version)

To uninstall Plan-G 3.1, 3.0, or 2.0 open the Programs and Features contol panel, select plan-G v2 or Plan-G v3 from the list and click 'uninstall'.
Versions earlier than 2.0 can simply be deleted from the hard drive.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

What does mean: "NB, this step is unnecessary if you are simply updating to a newer version."
Does this mean I don't have to uninstall or that I don't have to run the ClearAllSettings.exe tool ?
Sorry, but this is not clear to me !

So, my question is still do I have to uninstall V3.1.0.82 first or not?
Thank you,

Kind regards

Hi Sundancer

Sorry I misunderstood.
You do not have to uninstall V3.1.0.82 first.  When you install V3.1.1.94 it will simply replace the necessary files.

Thanks Ivan.
All clear to me and now I know how to update.

1. No. You can keep both if you wish (install the new one to a different folder). You can also just overwrite the old one if you wish.

2. No, you do not have to rebuild the database.

Hope that helps :)

Yes, wonderful, thank you Tim.
Both answers are clear and I'll just stick to only one version.
