Worked perfect. Thanks, BM!

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

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?
