As a PrizmDoc Admin, I would like to be able to update PrizmDoc to the latest version without needing to uninstall the previous version

This request is specific to Windows OS

Currently, to upgrade PrizmDoc Viewer you must uninstall any previous version of PrizmDoc viewer and then install the new version. This can become time-consuming. I would like to be able to upgrade PrizmDoc to the latest version without requiring a clean install. Main pain points here are:

  1. Time to do an upgrade is very high. It requires stopping services, doing explicit uninstall, cleaning up directories and installing the newer version again. Over all, it takes more than an hour to upgrade.
  2. Upgrade needs a reboot of OS, which might not be possible in certain scenarios.
  3. Auto upgrade of configuration files is not supported. User has to take a backup of old config files and manually update new config files after the upgrade.

There need to be a mechanism for an in-place upgrade of PrizmDoc Viewer without end-user to perform all of these above mentioned steps.
