That warning has actually been removed now. The 2.4.0 installer automatically uninstalls earlier versions for you. See [1].

You need to know the name and location of your main GnuCash data file. Then simply copy that file to a safe backup location and go ahead with the upgrade. See [2] to locate your data file.

Hope this helps,
