Re: [LegacyUG] Installing version 7

Fear not, although this will probably not help you.  The mail has slowed 
to a crawl, I think around 24 hours coming or going.  All you have to do 
is pay attention to where you install it.  I think Legacy 6 is inside 
C:\Legacy.  Just put Legacy 7 into C:\  . not into the previous 
Legacy folder that contains Legacy 6 if you're following.

I'm probably the average person, and when I installed Version 7 it did
not install over 6, it installed into the middle of it, alphabetically
between iSearch and Legacy Home in a folder of its own.  So now I have
v.7 embedded in v.6.  They both still work fine.  I'm wondering if I can
just pick up the v.7 folder and move it somewhere else if I ever want to
get rid of 6.   As I recall I chose the installation directory to be
Program Files but I got this arrangement instead.

It's just simpler for the average person.Since v7 converts your

files) to C:\Legacy7\Data (v7 files).

If you have pictures in C:\Legacy\Pictures the v7 files will still
work.   But, a few months from now when you want to get rid of v6 from
your computer because you never user it any longer you will not be
able to remove the v6 folder because it still contains the pictures.
Of course you can move the pictures, video files, sound files, and
other data type items like these over to your v7 folders.   But, now
that they are moved you now have to go into Options, Customize,
Locations tab, and click the view Current List of Multimedia

folders from the old location to the new location.   Or, get tricky
and do a global Search and Replace on PicturePaths.

Most of the user settings will be retained and a normal user of Legacy
simply installs it and continues to work on famiy history.  They don't
have to re-setup everything to their liking.

I guess it's just several small things that for probably a lot of
people on this list installing to a new folder would be a piece of
cake but for many users who are not very famiiar with computers and
getting around software I feel it is easier for them to just install
right over 6.0 which is where it will default to.

I simply recommended users install over 6.0 which from our point of
view simplifies tech support calls.   The end user only have one copy
of Legacy. Legacy was designed to be installed over the previous
version and simply work.

If you know how to work with files and are pretty good working with
Legacy go ahead and install to a separate folder as it's really not
that big of deal and you will be able to quickly figure out any small
thing that needs to be done.

Either way is fine with me, you choose.

RE: [LegacyUG] Installing version 7

2008-06-06 Thread ronald ferguson

I haven't a clue as to how it got installed there! I guess to remove 6 you may 
have to go to the register and delete it in the Millenia folder but you may be 
able to do it using the uninstall file in the Millenia 6 folder.

BTW others have asked how to install one version when two are installed, and 
other than using the Register, using the uninstall file in the Legacy folder is 
the only way.

For right now there is the option of using the old format or using the
sourcewriter for your sources.  There is not a source conversion option
available right now.  

Just think... there are probably as many ways sources are entered as there
are users of Legacy not sure how they would be able to create a user
friendly conversion tool that would work for everyone or at least most.
Heck I know I don't even have all of my sources standardized I can't image
trying to write something that would work for a huge user base.

Kristen,
I think this only happened to JL because he chose a destination folder other
than the default. He was going to put 7 into his program folder (which I
considered, as well, but did not do). My download was very smooth, and I
don't think you need to worry about it. Just make a good back-up before you
do it.

JL, correct me if I am wrong in what I have told her here about the problem
you encountered.

Ed,

You say that Legacy 7 ran them OK and you also say that the three .fdb files 
are stored in C:\Program Files\Legacy|Data and Legacy 7 can't find them.

So, where is Legacy 7 looking for them? I assume from what you are saying that 
when in, sat Family View the screen is blank. Go to File>Open and direct Legacy 
7 to where the .fdb files are stored ( use the browse bar at the top) and click 
the file to open.

Re: [LegacyUG] Installing version 7

2008-06-05 Thread JLB
My first installation of v.7 went into the middle of Legacy 6, so I just 
deleted the whole folder, and reinstalled it under C:\ so it now sits 
alphabetically under the v.6 installation in the Windows folder tree.  I 
copied over my Picture folder contents and my main database, so it could 
transform it into the new v.7 database.  I can run them both easily 
(keeping separate names for the backup zips of course and different 
color schemes for quick ID) but I'm finding no point since I can turn 
off the Maps, the Source Writer and married names for women.  Without 
those, it's v.6 with benefits (eg. editing from the Master Lists) but 
without the confusion of too many changes at once.

C:\Legacy7\Pictures\

This way you can run either Legacy 6 or Legacy 7.



If you wish to keep v6, be very careful.  I told v7 to install to a 
new directory (Legacy7) and it went ahead and installed it in Legacy 
(overwriting v6).  Fortunately it turned out OK as I see no need now 
to keep v6 available and a plus was that v7 has kept all the custom

RE: [LegacyUG] Installing version 7

2008-06-05 Thread Mark K
Ok here is what I did as I was too impatient to wait for a response and this 
mailing list took hours to post my query (I still cant believe everyone uses a 
horrible mailing list rather than a forum).
 
Anyway, what I did was first to backup my entire legacy directory (c:\Legacy) 
and all my datafiles.  I found further details on the download page that said 
to uninstall legacy 6 so I did then and then installed V7.
 
Since it needed a password and I didnt have it after many hours I emailed 
legacy and they sent it to me.
 
I then installed the new one into c:\legacy.  It picked up all my old settings 
and preferences as the uninstall didnt uninstall everything, obviously, and v7 
works fine.
 
By uninstalling you do get some old drivers off your system which is probably 
the main advantage to doing it this way.
 
I expect in the next week I will get a reg key for v7 and will then be very 
happy.
 
I agree with many users that sending the pw when you dl is not working very 
well, and it didnt work for me but have a thought for Legacy.  They will 
literally tens of thousands of people hammering the system at the one time.  
 
There will be glitches. For a little bit of patience, and some manners, 
everyone will end up a lot happier.
 
Anyway, back to waiting for my serial number :)

If you know how to work with files and are pretty good working with

Ken,
I did this and it did not work out well.

I have three family files including the sample.
I could see the sample and only it from Version 7 Deluxe.

I managed to get Version 7 to run on the version 6 family files and 
convert them.
However when I tried to see them in C:\Program Files\Legacy\Data, I 
could not see them with

Version 7.  Version 6 still worked ok.

RE: [LegacyUG] Installing version 7

2008-06-04 Thread Sherry/Support
However, if you choose to uninstall Legacy v6, you must uninstall from the
shortcut in the Start Menu folder or from the shortcut in the v6 folder in
Windows Explorer.  If you use Control Panel, you risk also disabling v7.

And yes, if you convert your files to v7, you'll need to create a gedcom to
import the file back into v6. 

Ken McGinnis' message earlier nicely explained the pitfalls of having two
versions of Legacy on your computer!

Thanks for using Legacy.

Mark:

I would recommend installing in a new Directory (e.g., c:\Legacy7\)

Back up your existing Legacy 6 database and picture files.
Then copy your database and picture files into the correct locations under:
c:\Legacy7\Data and
C:\Legacy7\Pictures\

This way you can run either Legacy 6 or Legacy 7.

I have not found any need to go back to Legacy 6, but once your
database is upgraded to Legacy 7 format, it will hard to go back to
Legacy 6.

You will like Legacy 7!
The mapping feature is really neat.

Re: [LegacyUG] Installing version 7

2008-06-04 Thread JLB
I'm probably the average person, and when I installed Version 7 it did 
not install over 6, it installed into the middle of it, alphabetically 
between iSearch and Legacy Home in a folder of its own.  So now I have 
v.7 embedded in v.6.  They both still work fine.  I'm wondering if I can 
just pick up the v.7 folder and move it somewhere else if I ever want to 
get rid of 6.   As I recall I chose the installation directory to be 
Program Files but I got this arrangement instead.

RE: [LegacyUG] Installing version 7

2008-06-04 Thread Richard Doherty
I had Legacy v6 installed under "C:\Program Files\Legacy" with just a couple
test databases.  When I received the Legacy v7 CD, I didn't want to mess
anything up, so I installed it in the Legacy recommended default directory
"C:\Legacy" and imported my main PAF family file into Legacy v7.  

>From other lister comments, it appears that I need to open my small v6
family files in v7.  At that point they can no longer be accessed by v6.
How do I then get rid of Legacy v6 without causing v7 problems?  Should I
just do a Windows XP Control Panel "Add/Remove Programs" for the v6
directory?

If you wish to keep v6, be very careful.  I told v7 to install to a new directory (Legacy7) and it 
went ahead and installed it in Legacy (overwriting v6).  Fortunately it turned out OK as I see no 
need now to keep v6 available and a plus was that v7 has kept all the custom settings I had in v6.

I would recommend installing in a new Directory (e.g., c:\Legacy7\)

Back up your existing Legacy 6 database and picture files.
Then copy your database and picture files into the correct locations under:
c:\Legacy7\Data and
C:\Legacy7\Pictures\

This way you can run either Legacy 6 or Legacy 7.

I have not found any need to go back to Legacy 6, but once your
database is upgraded to Legacy 7 format, it will hard to go back to
Legacy 6.

You will like Legacy 7!
The mapping feature is really neat.

Legacy v7 was designed to install directly over the Legacy v6 folder.

Thanks for using Legacy.
