Subject: How to update GVim_8.2.2332_x64 to a more current patch level?

Relative newbie here with a simple question—probably.
Having successfully installed (on Win 8.1x64 Pro), what is the procedure
for updating to a later patch level?
I assumed it would be to download/execute the desired package; e.g.
gvim_8.2.2374_x64_signed.exe . . .
That is not working for me: trashes/locks-up the existing %HOMEDRIVE%
\Program Files\Vim\vim82 directory!? A Restart clears the lock-up (of
course) and _deletes _the ..\vim82 sub-directory. I can install like new
again using the downloaded package—and all is well.
I figured out that I could, alternatively, download and extract the
.zip package—replacing the ..\vim82 sub-directory with cut&paste—and all
is well as well !-|
I also figure 'this ain't right: I've got a problem; think I better ask'.
Any help appreciated. TIA.
Mike O'B.
