Do I need to uninstall my current poser pro 11.2 to install the 11.3 or does 11.3 just overwrite certain files?

The installer will do that for you. No need to manually uninstaller 11.2.

Yep, my update recognised I already had a version installed, suggested I should uninstall it and ask my if I wanted to uninstall. Ticked yes and the update went away and did it then continued with the new install. At the end is asked for a system restart which I did. Bit nervous when I relaunched as I ticked to tell it to use existing preferences but I needn't have worried it loaded with my preferred scene and all my libraries were there.

Need to have more of a play but it looks good so far. The only problem I have found is that, under the purchases tab in the library (which i like a lot), you can click to have content installed. The content I have tried so far has failed with the message Unzip failed, not valid Poser content. It then gives me the option to reinstall or manually install, not a major issue for me as I always manually install anyway.

Poser 11.3 is a full install. You should but probably don't have to uninstall the old version. If you do uninstall your content is save. Nothing you've download will be removed. Install it in the same place as your current version. You can retain your existing preferences as well. This is now the default action in the windows installer. Mac users should backup their preferences first.

Installing Queue Manager is only needed for render boxes that don't have Poser installed. The Queue is installed with the base poser install. You don't need to install it twice.

Is there a readme file or installation configuration documentation?

Is there a readme file or installation configuration documentation? I too would like to know this.

Is this going to work with Win7? Last time I updated, it assumed a Win10 format for my preferences and so they did not apply.

There is no difference between Win 7 and 10 format. If you have a particular preference setup, you must follow an alternate installation method, not blindly accept the default settings. Through the countless uninstallations and re-installations, I have noticed that the installers on my computer remember my custom preferences so I can quickly check and breeze through my installation.

If there's no difference then I don't know why it created an entirely new folder to stick my preference files into and didn't put them back into my program. I'm familiar with custom installation and checked the appropriate options to save my configuration, and it completely ignored that. Perhaps it was because I'm not installing to my C drive, then. For whatever reason, it did not save my preferences and it even didn't give me the default rendering presets, I had to put everything in manually.
