You are right (Windows installation) - I have always so far (i.e. for 2
years) upgraded in this "copy-over" way. I don't remember exactly when
and where, but when searching for upgrade instructions, I read that I
should simply copy new src files to the existing location. I don't
remember being told to replace (i.e. first delete) old src files.
Apparently, I either understood the instructions wrong or came across
bad instructions :-). (After a wasted day, I'm sure this won't happen
again.)
Thanks to all helping me out with this issue!
Yours, Žiga
