I don't think that there is a simple answer to this, Colin. When dealing with a single application (such as Goldwave I always install straight over the old version, but with the webbie installer giving us a considerable number of separate applications, I think that there is some advantage in occasionally uninstalling and starting afresh. Some time ago the BBC listen Again program stopped working due to changes made by the BBC and had to be replaced by the one using the iPLayer. Installing over the top of the old version on that occasion would have left two similar applications - one of them now redundant. I remember that a few people were confused by that situation and were trying to use the wrong application. So perhaps an occasional clear out is not a bad idea.
