Upgrade to 1.17.1 Question

[G4MKR]

I'm just attempting to upgrade to version 1.17.1 from 1.17.0. I'm warned that I have to remove the previous version (1.17.0) before this can be done. When I have previously upgraded there was no such warning and the newer version ran with earlier settings maintained. If I remove my current version using windows add/remove programs, will I have to go through the set-up routine again? I have backed-up the database of course.
Thanks for any help.

No, all should be retained.
