    Hi all.

    I'm wondering whats the suggested best way to upgrade minor versions like from 5.0.2 to 5.0.3.
    Is it enough to just run the installer or should i uninstall the old version first?

    In general i have a problem with uninstalling notepad++. one file, i think it is nppcm.dll cant get deleted until a restart has been done after the uninstallation.

      Just run the installer to update your Notepad++, no need to uninstall the old one.

        but does the same work for a lets say 4.6 to 5.0.3 update too?

          For major upgrades (i.e. 4.x to 5.x) I would suggest an uninstall and install. This is just my practice, whereas I believe you can perform the upgrade by just running the installer as Don had commented. Really the uninstall seems to only be required when you run beta code.
