Question re: Install Win7 over XP

I just bought Windows 7, and want to install it in my computer currently running XP SP3. My question: Will Win7 install while keeping my apps in place, or is it going to wipe my whole HD first?

I have one very expensive app that would be hard to re-install (CD-ROM lost in move). So I'm hoping the Win7 install will preserve the installed apps.
