I am running the old version of the btsx wallet (0.4.4) on windows 7. I want to upgrade to 0.4.5.
If I simply install the new version on top of the old, Will I need to load all my keys/accounts etc. into the new wallet? I'm 99% sure of the answer to this question, but I want to double check because I have not yet backed up the wallet (I know, dumb mistake) and now I cannot get past the login screen because the wallet will not sync with the network because (I assume) the network has already been upgraded to 0.4.5? Anyways, since I haven't saved my keys, I should still be safe just installing the new version on top of the old, right?

If you want to be EXTRA safe (more so than likely necessary) you can back up the "wallets" folder in:
Windows: %APPDATA%/BitShares X (Try going to Start->Run and opening %APPDATA%, then open the BitShares X folder)
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/BitShares X (Open a Finder window and press Command-Shift-G, then paste in the path)
Linux: ~/.BitSharesX
Then just launch the new version. There is a syncing bug that you may still experience and the next release should fix.
If you encounter that problem, then you can delete the "chain" directory and attempt to sync via

We apologize for the bugs and thank you for patients with as we get updates out as quickly as possible.
