I have Windows XP Apache 2.0.52 installed and want to upgrade to 2.0.55.
When I click on the msi file I am told to delete the existing version. If
I uninstall, what is deleted? I would want to keep the config file and
scripts and such. Why does it not overlay the current version and make any
necessary adjustments? I want to upgrade but I don't want to destroy
anything in the process, even if I have a backup. (Obviously, this is my
first Apache upgrade!)

The configuration/documents -are- retained, only the 'default' configs
(used to create httpd.conf, etc) and installed binaries are uninstalled.

If you had added in a third party module, such as mod_php, mod_aspdotnet
or whatever, those are not removed either.  Only files created by the
installer itself.  This is why you need to manually remove the Apache2
directory yourself, along with log files and configs.
