Just going by what I did on my ARM machine yesterday since I couldn't get 5.8.2 to install then. I removed 5.6.2 with Revo Uninstaller including the registry entries so it wiped all my settings including my weekly schedule. I then did a clean install from scratch. The backup files remained but my settings were gone.A fresh install will not remove your settings, it will uninstall the old version (use the DEFAULTs into the same folder) and install the attempted version.
