Yup.  Just close any open instances and install the new version.  It will remove the old version but won't touch any of the existing wallets or settings.

There's a note about it on our About->FAQ page on the website bitcoinarmory.com.

Be absolutely sure you don't install Armory in a different folder than the previous installation. This might lead to a complete loss of all your (non-backed up) wallets.

Uh...it shouldn't.  If this happens for some reason, let me know.  But the install folder has nothing to do with your Armory home folder which is where your wallets and settings are kept.  The only way to change or affect that folder is to change the "--datadir=" flag when running Armory, and that will simply change it... it won't delete anything.
