That's why, year after year, and asked/answered multiple times a year, especially this time every year - "us old timers," recommend you simply install right over the OLD install.

1) if worried about new install "corrupting" old well (that hasn't happened to me yet and I've been doing it since DOS BIAB) then COPY the old existing BB folder FIRST to someplace else and/or back up OLD BB first, or both!

2) THIS DESCRIPTION OF HOW TO INSTALL UPDATE BIAB SHOULD BE A PERMANENT STICKY.

I think of all the bonus paks, RT's, utilities, special libs, styles, artist add-ons that could be lost if I tried to do a CLEAN install and then went back and tried to find all that "stuff" - and I'm "AN&L retentive" when it comes to keeping EVERYTHING - FOREVER (and MULTIPLE copies, at that, at both on-site and off-site).
