Performing the upgrade

Recommended installation on Windows
If the program was installed through the MSI, the upgrade path is simple. IIS must be stopped.
All the files installed have to be replaced from the ones from the zip.
Untouched files should be configuration files (appsettings.* and the web.config file)
Then IIS must be started.

You must upgrade the program files and ensure that the library requirements (dotnet version, ...) are fulfilled.
