R help - Aug 2009 - upgraging R from 2.9.0 to 2.9.1

I am still running 2.9.0 and came across a package that was built with 2.9.1. I
got a warning upon loading the package.
I tried to launch a function from such a package. It seems to hang up. I
can't believe it takes forever.
I am resolved to upgrade my R version to the newest one. But on a Windows box I
do not know how to unistall the current version
in advance of installing the new one. 
On a Linux system I iinstaledl the new version without removing the previous one
first and ended up with a messy situation.
Can you please help ?
Thank you in advance.

See questions 2.7 and 2.8 in the R Windows FAQ:

FWIW, the R homepage says, "R 2.9.2 Release Candidates will appear August
17-24. Final release is scheduled for 2009-08-24."  (Tomorrow?) Maybe a
short upgrade delay is in order? ;-)

On Windows, I routinely install new versions without removing the previous
version.  They always seem to coexist happily.
