4. You should delete the corresponding folders and files in the current installation. It is recommended that a delete is performed first instead of an overwrite. This is due the dependencies that may exist with the DLL files in the /bin folder. Keeping old versions of DLLs may cause version conflicts.
5. Make sure you do not remove the following:
/start folder
/certificates folder
/logs folder
/start folder
/app_data folder (if exists)
/web.config file
6. Stop the IIS site temporarily as there may be file locks in place.
7. Wait a few seconds.
8. Copy the contents of the ZIP package into the folder where STS was located.
9. Start the IIS site
10. Launch the web application to test.
