What is the proper way to upgrade REDCINE-X?

[Guy Staley]

I'm a new RED user, and especially new to REDCINE-X.

Does the installer automatically overwrite previous versions, or should I delete old versions (and prefs?) prior to upgrading?

TIA!

On Windows, you can have Beta and Release versions of RCX installed at the same time. Both will use the same preferences files.

On Mac, you can have only Beta or Release.

There's an auto update system built in to RCX. When it detects a new version available, it'll notify you to upgrade. The upgrade will overwrite the currently installed version.

Don't delete your preferences when upgrading.

Thank Grant. I'm on Mac OS.

Cheers!

On a Mac, what harm might happen if one were to rename the old version before installing the new one, thereby having both?
