Before uninstalling your current DSE version, please use the 'Archive environment' tool in DSE to backup a copy of your C:\ProgramData\DesignSpark Electricaldata folder to a safe location. This directory contains your unarchived projects which you can replace, in case it is accidentally lost during the uninstallation. You can use 'Unarchive environment' to restore the contents after installing the update.
