Updating Windows Service

I have a Windows service which I have previously installed and it works
fine. I need to update it with a new version. Do I need to uninstall the old
one and reinstall the updated version, or can I just stop the service,
replace the EXE and start it back up again?

Thanks,
Steve

You can just stop the service, copy all changes (exe and dlls if any) and
start it back.
