Am I supposed to uninstall my old version (via the Windows Vista Control Panel Uninstall Program tool) before installing the new one? Is there any harm in doing so? (Website guidance in this area seems a bit vague to me.) Or does the installation routine see the old install and adjust itself accordingly (as some programs do)?

Thanks in advance!
You can go ahead and uninstall the old version first if you'd like. The new version should install over top of an old one, but it can't hurt to uninstall the previous one first.
