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.

Worked fine, thanks.
