Re: [Qgis-user] Updating QGIS version
Most Qgis installers for Windows do not do an update in place. Instead they install an additional version of Qgis. This allows you to keep running an earlier version of Qgis at the same time as the newer one. This might be helpful in some cases, but because it's atypical of most Windows programs, it is confusing the first time you encounter this. The desktop or taskbar icon for your previous version remains connected to the old version. You have to create a new shortcut to access the new version. Once you are satisfied that the new version hasn't broken any functionality you need, just go ahead and uninstall the old version and delete any shortcuts you have created. Beware that in some cases a newer version of Qgis will write a project file that is not backwards compatible. If you open an old project, you will be warned that saving it will render old versions unable to open it.
