Thread:Project:Support desk/How to Upgrade MediaWiki 1.12 to 1.24/reply (13)

Yes, you can control that: When I upgrade XAMPP, I usually take the 7z archive ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/5.6.3/xampp-win32-5.6.3-0-VC11.7z/download, I guess the zip file contains the same stuff, but the 7z file is way more compressed giving a faster download) and extract that one. So when I move the new files to the location of my original xampp/ folder, I take care that I do not move files from e.g. htdocs/ of the archive into my original xampp/htdocs folder.
