    Can I install Ver 3 over Ver 2, or do I have to uninstall the existing NOD first?
    I don't see this anywhere in the FAQs.

    Thank you.

    Overwrite the existing install.

    You can install version 3 over 2 but I wouldn't. I feel a clean install is always best.

    Hi!

    No, I don't recommend this step, because v3 use Windows Installer and there is a little bit difference between their engine.

    Suggest you backup your settings before unistalling V2, clean up debris after uninstalling and only then install V3.
