Just download and install the new version. It looks after everything
itself: there is no need to uninstall the earlier version first.

That approach didn't work for me. At some point MSAS
reverted to build 1.0.614. So i uninstalled my old
version (deleting all MSAS files)and installed the new
one. So far, so good.
By the way, what is the meaning of MVP in your title and
also thanks for your many helpful fixes.

Empty your Temporary Internet Files, and try the download again. Run the
newly-downloaded installer to install Build 615.
