Jack,
I don't know what the risk are either but when I upgraded the last time
to the v5 Deluxe I did not remove
the old one and it worked fine. Flo

Jon,
I noticed the comment and so I uninstalled V5 on my laptop (running Windows
ME). When I installed V6 I had lost ALL my settings.
So when I installed it on my desktop (running XP SP2) I decided to try to
install it without uninstalling V5 first. (I knew that if all else failed I
could uninstall and clear out registry settings etc and then install again.)
It worked fine. Everything was just as I had it set up in V5 - so a very
happy bunny.
It would be nice to know what the risk is of just installing the new version
without uninstalling the old copy. But it seems to be fine
Jack

Subject: [LegacyUG] Uninstall earlier versions first?
Did anyone else notice the recommendation to uninstall earlier versions
before installing v6? This statement is found on Legacy's web site:
"Please
uninstall any older versions of Legacy before installing Legacy 6.0. If an
earlier version is present and you don't uninstall it first, it may remain
in the
system registry. If you remove an earlier version of Legacy after
installing
Legacy 6.0, Legacy 6.0 may not work and you will need to reinstall it to
fix
the problem."
Does this apply to all earlier versions, including v5.xx? Perhaps tech
support can elaborate? What if a user wants to keep v5 installed as a
backup to
v6?
