    Hey brisbrain 

     

    Don't think there's a choice unless SmartBear alter the install packaging options to support this variation. 

     

    I'm guessing the install is only recognising there's an app to upgrade if a SmartBear directory exists within the Program Files directory (I'm assuming you're talking Windows here and not Mac or Unix/Linux).

     

    So I think you'll just have to go with uninstalling the v3.6 and doing a fresh install of v3.10.2 

     

    Sorry can't be of more help!

     

    Cheers,

    Thanks Rich,

     

    Appears that your correct.  I ended up doing a parallel installation.

     

    The doco through me a bit when I saw screenshots of detecting a previous version.
