To be safe and avoid unnecessary problems, its best to back up your old one and do a new install. This is _especially_ the case with source releases, where you have to run the installer to make sure that you get builds of the latest binaries. Over time, it would be nice to have an intelligent update capability, but that's a non-trivial effort that probably won't get much attention anytime soon :(
Hmm, Zmake is an intelligent update thingo. Just dump the new Zope source release in a convient place, modify Makefile.zmake:Release to point to the new directory structure and then run (in this order): * Make ZExtensions * Make Install This assumes that you have a python console called zope_c.exe in the top directory. If not, build it via Make Zope
