You mean: "make fpc compile the IDE from the sources"? Nice, I should have
thought of that. This is definitely one of the nicest points of Lazarus :-)

Out of curiosity, I did not do it thus, though. I redid the upgrade and got
the same result. I had previously checked, I did not have any "Lazarus"
task in memory. So I simply moved Lazarus.exe to another partition and
redid the upgrade for the third time and this time I got the Upgrade
configuration dialog.

Conclusion:
 - I don't know why the upgrade would not overwrite Lazarus.exe (is my
anti-virus playing me some silly trick?)
 - Your way to do it would have certainly have been much faster :-D

Thanks for the new version. Now I'm going to play a little with it.
