What is the correct way to update WEL manifest?

Few month ago I switched my program event logging from mc files to manifest. And I don't designed update process, so now I have an issue. During update process installer trying to register manifest and get errors like:

InstallEventManifestDeferred (900:1290) [00:33:37:008]: > **** Warning: Publisher {7933c1d1-2c14-40dd-9b6c-3a8c0ea4a7c4} is installed on
InstallEventManifestDeferred (900:1290) [00:33:37:023]: > the system. Only new values would be added. If you want to update previous 
InstallEventManifestDeferred (900:1290) [00:33:37:023]: > settings, uninstall the manifest first.

What is the correct way to update manifest? I should always uninstall old first? Or I can change provider guid in newer version? After uninstalling I lose old records, how I can avoid it?

May be question is foolish, but I haven't found any cookbook or guide. Thank you
