That's a good question, as I had the same confusion when I first upgraded. Basically, the installer automates 4 major steps: Install the WAR, install a servlet engine (Jetty), install the database (HSQL), and install the XAR. So upgrading overtop of the installer is really not much different from upgrading overtop of a manual install. It would be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the manual install procedure to better understand what's going on; it's really not terribly confusing or complicated. (That being said, the last time I attempted to upgrade, I must have messed something up, as my history stopped working, but I'm pretty sure that happened for other reasons.) I thought about editing the wiki page to clear this up, but I couldn't figure out a decent way to word it. If someone else would like to take a stab at it, I'd love them for it. Paul D.

Hi,
I search and read through the upgrade info from this link below.

It said that the general strategy for upgrade is to download the WAR Distribution and to replace your current installed WAR.
Since I did an initial xwiki install using the standalone xwiki enterprise window 1.1.2 installer, how can I upgrade to 1.1.2 milestone 2 without losing any current data? To be more specific, which file should I download and use?
Thanks, YinKee
