Bertis,
Some Addons might have requred changes to files that get overwritten by the new install, like solarsys.ssc or celestia.cfg. Installing a new version of Celestia on top of the old one will damage those Addons.
I've found it works best to rename Celestia's current directory to be something else and then install the new version. e.g. rename Program Files\Celestia to be Program Files\Celestia131 and then let the installation program recreate a new copy of Program Files\Celestia. That way you can still run the previous version when you want and your existing Addons can be moved to the new version at your convenience.
Does this help?
