That's a good question, as I had the same confusion when I first upgraded. Basically, the installer automates 4 major steps: Install the WAR, install a servlet engine (Jetty), install the database (HSQL), and install the XAR. So upgrading overtop of the installer is really not much different from upgrading overtop of a manual install. It would be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the manual install procedure to better understand what's going on; it's really not terribly confusing or complicated.
(That being said, the last time I attempted to upgrade, I must have messed something up, as my history stopped working, but I'm pretty sure that happened for other reasons.) I thought about editing the wiki page to clear this up, but I couldn't figure out a decent way to word it. If someone else would like to take a stab at it, I'd love them for it. Paul D.
