Yeah, it wouldn't update for me unless I uninstalled AetherSX2/NetherSX2 first.

  1. [Optional but recommended] First of all, backup files important to you to another folder just in case as you'll have to uninstall the version you currently have installed to install the newest version.
  2. Before installing, once you backed up your files elsewhere, clear all cache and data in the app's settings in Settings.
  3. When uninstalling the previous version, DO NOT checkmark "Keep All (Remaining) Data" when installing the newest version as the installer will think you still have AetherSX2/NetherSX2 installed and the newest version will NOT install.
  4. Install the newest version. You should have no problems installing the newest version now, but...
  5. [Only if you screw up] IF by chance you accidentally select to "keep data" when uninstalling the previous version of AetherSX2/NetherSX2 (like I did when I was trying to update too), hope you have a computer and a cable to connect your PC too, and follow this Reddit post's instructions by amarhany20 to remove remaining data that thinks the app is still installed as this is how I fixed that issue.
