George, I had to laugh at your email - I love installation instructions <hehe>. What do the rest of us do? Pop in the CD and click Next .... next ... next ... next.... then we wonder what went wrong. In any case, I'd be interested to know what Homesite gives you that CF studio does not? I was under the impression that Homesite was merely a scaled down version of CF Studio (oriented to HTML only and not CF). Am I wrong?

I'm frustrated. I finally have time to upgrade my HomeSite from 4.5.2 to 5.0 and I'll follow that with CF Studio 5.0 and UltraDev 4.0 (don't ask) and right at the top of the release notes I find: If you uninstall HomeSite 4.5.2 after having installed HomeSite 5, you must reinstall HomeSite 5. and: JRun Studio 3.0.1 may be installed on the same computer as ColdFusion Studio 5 and/or HomeSite 5. The preferred sequence of installation is to install JRun 3.0.1 and then ColdFusion Studio 5 and/or HomeSite 5. But, if you do install JRun Studio 3.0.1 after installing ColdFusion Studio 5 and/or HomeSite 5, you must reinstall ColdFusion Studio 5 and/or HomeSite 5. and: If you uninstall HomeSite or ColdFusion Studio when you have more than one version installed on the same computer, do not select to delete the shared files during the uninstallation. For example, when HomeSite 4.5.2 and HomeSite 5 are installed on the same computer and you uninstall HomeSite 5, dialogs will appear during the uninstallation asking to delete shared files. In those dialogs, you must select No (the default is Yes). If you do inadvertently delete the files, you will need to reinstall. It is important that earlier versions of HomeSite or ColdFusion Studio are installed before later versions. So, you would reinstall HomeSite or ColdFusion Studio 4.5.2 first and then HomeSite or ColdFusion Studio 5. [29480] So, 1. I want HomeSite 5 to detect and bring in the settings I have with HomeSite 4.5.2 and then I want to uninstall 4.5.2 but if I do that I then have to reinstall 5 but my 4.5.2 will be gone, along with all it's settings, so I won't be able to migrate over my settings again? Does this mean that to migrate my settings I have to leave 4.5.2 on my PC after I install 5? Forever? Same thing with CF Studio 4.5.2 and 5.0? 2. I don't want to install JRun Studio 3.0.1 (or JRun 3.0.1, I'm confused about which one they mean, studio or the app server or both?). At least not now. But I might want to later. If I do it later then I will have to reinstall both HomeSite 5 and CF Studio 5 and I'll lose my settings again? 3. Does the shared files paragraph really mean that if I ever uninstall HomeSite 5.0/CF Studio 5.0 and I want to reinstall them I first have to reinstall versions 4.5.2 or make sure they are still on my PC? Are versions 4.5.2/5.0 of HomeSite/Studio forever joined at the hip if I want to retain my settings? I'm starting to think it makes sense just to uninstall the older versions and manually reconfigure the new versions with my old settings. What has everyone else done? Thanks.
