I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling, although that is PROBABLY not
necessary. It is safest, though, and you shouldn't lose your user data.

If one main reason for wanting the full installation is to get the EGTBs, then
you will probably also want to download FEG, the EGTB generator. You can get it
at the Chessmaster website, and it is very easy to use (just be sure to read the
docs first!).
