Upgrading has been broken for several versions so you need to do a new 
installation.


The SeaMonkey project is proud to present SeaMonkey 2.53.6: The new 
release of the all-in-one Internet suite is available for download now 
! 2.53.6 is an incremental 
update from the 2.53.x branch and incorporates a number of changes, 
including improved usability of multiple mailboxes/folders selection, 
Greek localization, and fixes from the underlying platform code. 
*Before installing it make a full backup of your profile and 
thoroughly read and follow the Release Notes 
*. 


At the very top of those Release Notes it states:

*You MUST absolutely do a full backup of your profile before upgrading 
from a version earlier than SeaMonkey 2.53.1. This version of 
SeaMonkey makes changes to your profile that can't be reverted in 
cases where you need to go back to the older version.*


*Automatic upgrades from previous versions are currently disabled for 
this release. Please download the full installer from the downloads 
section and install SeaMonkey 2.53.6 manually over the previous version.*




Hope that helps.

You forgot to point out that - starting with 2.48.5 - Windows versions 
of Seamonkey come as 32-bit and as 64-bit versions.  If you move between 
the two you need to deinstall the old version (after downloading the new 
one) before installing the new one.

Yes SM suns on W 10.  However, starting with Netscape, I have never 
caused or allowed any Mozilla app to write over another version.  Newer 
is not always better, and combining versions can sometimes be 
"interesting"  I install each version in it's own space, at a place of 
my choosing.  And never on a boot partition.  And when I decide I prefer 
a later version to an earlier, I delete the earlier; and not before.


I have had some issues with recent versions.  As a result I currently 
have eight SM versions and two Pale Moon.  Some SM versions share a 
profile and some have their own.  All SM versions that I configure to 
access email all use the same mail files.


Mozilla apps are very friendly in how they can be managed.

Ray

Well, I think he is asking SeaMonkey users if they have done the Win 10 
reservation, but somebody should cross post a reply and set followup-to 
m.general.


I can't using this version of Thunderbird, due to bug 1151448.

From what I understand, you have until July 29 of next year to accept 
the freebie. So I'm in no hurry -- let others do the beta testing, and 
make a decision after things have settled down.


I did install the tray icon that enables me to make the reservation, but 
I haven't made the reservation. I hid the icon, but it periodically 
reappears and has to be rehidden. If it's annoying enough, I'll 
uninstall it, but so far it's pretty innocuous.


This is off-topic here, so I expect one of the mods will discourage this 
thread pretty soon.
