As long as my old Armory program is turned off.  I can just install the newest version of Armory and it will work without a hassle? It will install flawlessly over the old version?  Smiley

Without uninstalling the old version?

Or do I have to uninstall the old version and import the old wallet?

I have a watch only wallet on it that I'm concerned with. Also a quick spend wallet I never use.

Anyone smart enough to know? or is it a crap shoot?  Tongue   Cheesy

Armory data files are separate from binaries:

Windows:
datadir: C:\Users\*myusername*\AppData\Roaming\Armory
binaries: C:\Program Files (x86)\Armory

Linux:
datadir: ~/.armory
binaries: /usr/lib/armory

The Armory installer affects binaries only.

Regardless, whether you plan to install, reinstall or not, you should secure backups of your wallets.

As for your direct question, you can simply run the new installer over an existing installation.

OK. Thanks. I've got both a digital and paper back up. So I'll try to install over my existing installation.
