You have a good point. Most people know how to use phpMyAdmin to export (dump) all their databases on the server to an SQL file. You also save a copy of your htdocs folder. After you install the new XAMPP you copy back your saved htdocs. You then use phpMyAdmin Import to create and build the databases you backed up. It's all pretty easy.[/quotI have written this thread not because I do not know how to install a fresh installation holding the data of the previous one; that was easy.
The reason is to know if there is a way to install over an old installation in a faster way then the one commonly known. If not I think it would be useful to add that feature; upgrading I mean.
