Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: EnergyPlus Version 1.2 Now Available
You can install V 1.2 directly on top of the existing
previously installed version. The setup looks to
see whether an existing version of EnergyPlus
is already installed and asks whether you want
to back it up (and puts the older version in a
new folder called backup).
