Need help updating portable version.

Hello,
I am running version 3.1.1 portable on Win 10 pro. Normally I would just download the zip file, unpack, and dump contents into the 3.1.1 portable folder. But I remember reading something about a program change that made doing so with this old version a problem.
Would appreciate any help.

Indeed, don't do that. You'll need to extract to a new folder and update the way you execute it

Thanks for the reply.
So after extracting to new folder aim all the pointers at the old directories I was using? (excluding the 3.1.1 portable folder)
After I fix the above, when there is program update, just extract zip contents to current program directory?

You'll need a new directory every update!

Ok, thanks.
If I deleted what I have and used the installer version would the folder paths and settings be updated automatically come next update?
