Is it necessary to uninstall the older version before installing the new
one, or can the old one simply be overwritten by the new one?

I would recommend uninstalling any previous update package and
then installing Update #3. Otherwise you'll have multiple entries in
Control Panel's Add/Remove programs.
Even if you upgrade over any existing version, the new release will
re-enable the Java Console & Tray icon if you had them disabled
in the previous Java Runtime.
