ActiveState installation question

[Robert]

If I am using the MSI do I need to uninstall the old version before
installing the new one?

[Steven Mac Intyre]

no .. just make sure your directory is the same

Regardless of whether you use MSI you should be okay if you're
installing from the same series, i.e. any release in the 5.8.x series
should be binary compatible with any other in that series. Note that
there was a slip in one version in the 5.8.x series where binary
compatibility was broken, but I don't think it affected any of the
ActiveState releases.

Randy.
