As far as I know almost every configuration part and file installed with MP is placed in the MediaPortal folder.

Before installing a new version why not just rename the MediaPortal to MediaPortal_version and changing the menu-links to it.

Install the new version, which would be like a totally new install. If you prefer you could copy your old MediaPortal folder instead of renaming. This would provice you with an installation on top and maybe this could give you a working (at least partly) configuration from upgrade to upgrade.

Please consider this YOU WILL HAVE TO put every installed 3th party plugin and its folders (just to make sure) under the MediaPortal folder as well. The example of this being the ShoutCast plugin since it makes its own folders and files.

The above is not testet, but I've had a Release version and the CVS version of MP installed on the computer side-by-side. As far as i remember that didn't give me any serious trouble.
