Gil,

Technically, the 'update' type of install is not an update.  The installed
version is completely removed and a complete new version is installed.
 What the uninstall does is save some metadata about how the old version
was installed, such as the position of .rex in the PATHEXT, the old
installed location, etc., and then use that data for the new install.

Sure you can open a documentation bug and I'll reword that statement.

The 'update' type of install is explained in the installer on the page that
allows you to select that type of install.

I thought I had added an explanation in the readMe.pdf file, but I guess I
didn't.  It seems to me the explanation in the installer is sufficient.
 But, you can open a doc bug for that and I'll add it.
