I do not believe you must uninstall first, but it doesn't hurt.  As for
your data files, you should back them up but most likely 2.4.x will just
pick up where 2.2.x left off, and when you launch 2.4 your data file
will just open.  Worst case you may need to File -> Open the old data
file once.

The only main stumbling is going to be any saved reports.  Those wont
carry over from 2.2 to 2.4.
