Installing 1.0: uninstall previous version first?

Postby billermo » 11 Jul 2009 06:36

When installing the new 1.0 version of VLC, should we first uninstall the previous version we have, or is it ok to just install over the top of it?

i don't think u have to but it would be recommand

also it may help if u rest vlc prefrences and cache files when u upgrade to 1.0

always nice to start with things fresh though other people may think diffrently
