If are using Windows and you install in the default location, x32
installs in [C:\Program Files (x86)] and x64 installs in ["C:\Program
Files"].  In going from x32 to x64 you will have SeaMonkey twice and
there will be conflicts.

For many years, however, I have been installing SeaMonkey in a
non-default location that is on a drive that is NOT C.  When I updated
from x32 to x64, I still installed in that location.  In my case, not
uninstalling the older version was not necessary.



The questions and answers of this thread prompted me to check my 
locations for SeaMonkey.  I see I have a folder for SeaMonkey in both 
C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86).  Apparently I am using 
the 64 bit location now.  Is there any reason I could not simply 
delete the 32 bit directory??  Or is there a better way to remove the 
old files??


Please check Windows "Programs and Features" to see if both versions are 
installed. If best is to uninstall both and reinstall only the x64 
version. Just deleting the x86 will leave fragments behind. If you still 
have anything in x86 SeaMonkey left after you uninstalled you can delete 
them. Might be ancient non working bundled add-ons or plugins then.

My Seamonkey profile is installed at:
C:\Users\Margaret\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles
and my SeaMonkey program is installed at:
C:\Users\Margaret\AppData\Local\SeaMonkey\seamonkey.exe
When I installed I thought I installed in the default location

Why not v2.53.2?


Good question. I need to upgrade, but I also need to move profile, so 
it's taking a bit of planning.

Check user agent. I think yours is x86 32 bit.

Mine is x64:

User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64; rv:60.0) 
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 SeaMonkey/2.53.4


FRG



Windows NT 10.0; WOW64 means 32-bit. You are using Windows 10.

Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64 means 64-bit. FRG is using Windows 7.



Nope 6.3 = Windows 8.1 otherwise correct.
