OK, so back to the title question: I am ready to upgrade from 2.5.4 to 2.6.1. I have the download, but when I run the installer, it says that I have to uninstall the older version first. Will this require that I re-configure up the environment again for all of my settings? Or will it retain the settings for me in the upgrade process? Strangely, the [FAQ](https://discussion.mcebuddy2x.com/t/25) on installing talks about a [clean install](https://discussion.mcebuddy2x.com/t/24) only, which is not what I am trying to do, and the Users Guide assumes that you have 2.4 installed and does not mention the upgrade process at all, either. I can’t seem to find any other Upgrade threads here. How am I missing it?
