•If you perform an upgrade, the configuration files from the prior release (assuming you pick the same directory for the upgrade) will be preserved rather than replaced. If you select upgrade of components not previously installed, they will be fully installed. There is no automatic uninstall of discontinued components.
•If you perform an installation on top of the prior release, the old configuration information will be lost. You will be prompted if attempting to overwrite directories.
