The quickest way is to update mamba
and conda
themselves to the latest versions:
$ mamba update -n base mamba conda
Thank you @jaimergp , that's worked.
How about adding the update command to the installer message when it finds that there's already an installation? That would handle my original issue.
That message is currently hardcoded, so not possible right now, but we might be able to add some custom fields in the future.

It does not work. previously 23.1.0-0, and now still it, although it did upgrade other packages, except the mambaforge itself.
previously 23.1.0-0, and now still it
somewhat strange, but "23.1.0-0" only refers to the version at the original installation time. It effectively installs the "first" conda environment, for you to create an update any other environment.
So mamba update
on the base environment is all you need to "update" the installation.
I've turned this into a documentation task. PRs welcome to explain to end users how to "upgrade" an installation.
Solution to issue cannot be found in the documentation.
Issue
I've previously installed mambaforge using the Mambaforge-4.13.0-1-Windows-x86_64.exe installer (double-clicking the exe). Tried Mambaforge-23.1.0-0-Windows-x86_64.exe the same way and it gives alert:
I've run
Mambaforge-23.1.0-0-Windows-x86_64.exe /?
at a command prompt to list its arguments and it appears there is no upgrade switch.It would help to include an option for upgrading mambaforge to a newer version, and/or to provide guidance in how to do this in a way that retains existing environments.
