Cannot upgrade 2.0.39 -> 2.0.43. Must uninstall first

           Summary: Cannot upgrade 2.0.39 -> 2.0.43. Must uninstall first
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.43
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Other Modules
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: paul@pharos.com


Upgrade a 2.0.39 server to 2.0.43 on Win2K.
I am using:
    apache_2.0.43-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi

When I run it, I get:
    "Another version of this product is already installed.  Installation
    of this version cannot continue.  To configure or remove the existing
    version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel."

The error message is pretty obvious, but the product should not require me to uninstall my current version to install the new one. 

It means the user must copy off all configuration files, passwords, logs etc (hoping they dont miss any) then do the uninstall, the install and then reapply the configuration files. Sure hope any new config options dont get lost when I overwrite the new config files.

The upgrade should happen in-place.
