Once there's a *FULL* new release, yes it will. 

Please bear in mind, that at the moment, Tim is releasing BETA TEST
*executables* ONLY.

 AA> What is the best way to proceed with an updated install?

[1] Backup(export) the following registry key .....
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\New.Vision.Software\WinPoint

[2] Backup everything in C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\WinPoint

[3] Download this: http:\\winpoint\org\wp_v375.zip

[4] Extract the executable and copy it into the same directory as your
existing WinPoint(359.1) executable.

[5] Create a shortcut to the new executable and away ya go :)

 AA> Will the existing config values (areas, passwords, etc..) carry over?

Yes, or at least, mine did.

NOTES:
"Extras -> Options" has been moved to "File -> Options". In fact, the "Extras"
menu no longer exists.

Regards,
Martin
