Thanks Ian, I could npt have explained this any better :-). > Perhaps the installer could detect this and refuse to install until the > old version has been uninstalled. Tough, because the web-installer is supposed to be able to update existing installations. I honestly have no clue how I could detect the case of an "old-type" installation and delete it only in this case. What would be the signs for installing over an old type installation? Sebastian P.S. The only way I can think of is to check if we still want to call "Freenet.node.Node" to start Freenet. I will probably implement a warning in this case. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
