Stupid newbie question on upgrading versions

[ptchan5]

So I know that you can run multiple instances of VC, but if I'm happy the way things are running or I want to move my settings over to the latest version, I presume I don't extract the latest version into my existing version. What's the best way to move to the latest version when it's released?

Thanks,
Peter

to run VC as multiple instance, go to the properties of the voxcommando.exe and type -new as parameter.

Example: vcpath/voxcommando.exe -new

Sorry Kalle, but that is not what ptchan5 is asking.

The answer is yes.

Create a copy of your existing folder.  Test it if you want to be thorough.
Run the update in this new folder.  It will overwrite files, but should not touch your customizations or settings.

The only thing to watch out for when moving VC to a new folder, is that all your file references should use relative paths... so it is best if your payload XML file paths look like.
Payloads\names.xml 
and not
C:\voxcommando\payloads\names.xml

Thanks James! That's the answer I was looking for.
