Thanks for the quick response Rob, So it is possible to use the installer to upgrade. I don't have to uninstall and then re-install. You suggest removing the service and continuing with the install.
I would like to find procedures that detail the steps to do when upgrading from one version to another on a windows system. I have tried looking for upgrade documentation on the net and I can't find any.
