Upgrading Interact
You can upgrade Interact by overwriting your existing Interact installation. If you cannot upgrade your current version of Interact directly, you must install Interact in a new location.
An in-place upgrade is one where you overwrite your existing installation. You can complete in-place upgrades for Interact version 8.5.0 and later.
To ensure that the installer automatically upgrades your existing Interact design time and runtime environment, select the same location as your old Interact design time and runtime location.
When in-place upgrades are not possible, you must install Interact in a new location. Because of the architectural changes between Interact version 8.5.0 and previous versions of Interact, there is no upgrade path from earlier versions of Interact.
