Minor upgrade of MariaDB (from 10.1.22 to 10.1.26)

Hello,

i'm trying to upgrade MariaDB from 10.1.22 to 10.1.26. I followed the page https://mariadb.com/kb/en/the-mariadb-library/upgrading-between-minor-versions-of-mariadb/ I uninstalled MariaDB 10.1.22, with keeping data mode, so when i install 10.1.26 (in the same folder) it says that there is already a data folder... (Selected data directory "C:\Progs\MariaDB 10.1\data\" is not empty) Do i have to install 10.1.26 in another folder an replace the ini file to be linked to the old data folder ?

thanks, Renaud

rename existing folder "data" to "new_data", install, shutdown server, rename "new_data" to "data". Next time do not uninstall for minor upgrades. This advice is not inappropriate to Windows (youcan safely skip any documentation about installling and upgrading, *unless* it mentions Windows in title)
