You have to uninstall your current version of MP first and then install MP 0.2.2.0 - but all your configuration files will remain after the uninstall, so you can then continue with your current configuration.
These are the steps:-
Make a backup copy of your current MP directory, just incase you need to revert.
Uninstall MediaPortal.
You will notice that there are a lot of files and folders left behind after the uninstall - they are the ones you want to keep.
Install MP 0.2.2.0 into the same MP directory as your previous version.
Start MediaPortal and all (or most) of your setup should be intact ....
The caveat is that if you encounter a problem (bug?) you should then do a completely fresh install (deleting the MediaPortal folder) to ensure that the problem was not due to something left behind from the previous version.
