Hello TBBETA, I have TB installed on drive C: and thought that was an oversight when I installed XP at the time. All programs are on drive D: over here. Data (including .tbb files) is on drive E:.
So, I backed up TB with the internal tool to drive I: (backups). Then I removed TB via Windows' "Add/remove programs". 1.) The directory structure on drive E: remained intact (didn't acutally look at the files) even though I had ticked that the files should not be kept. 2.) I ran the MSI install, and it didn't ask me where I wanted to install the program, it just installed on drive C:. Why am I not given a choice? I want all my program files on drive D:. That is easily done with all other apps I have installed. I was asked where I want to keep my data, though. I keyed in drive E: and this was followed as expected. 3.) Upon opening TB, I learned that I had an "unregistered copy", even though I had restored from back-up. 4.) My personal settings, such as open account tress open, width of columns, size and position of windows, were all forgotten. I didn't even look any further into details. 6.) Customisations were forgotten. It seems the user.def wasn't backed up and restored at all. This is a poor performance for a release version, I think. I had no choice but to delete the copy newly installed and restored with TB's internal backup, and instead restored from my manual backup (I always back up the registry key and zip the relevant directories), and now I have TB looking and working as expected again. Should have been possible with the internal tool. However, the main program is still on drive C. :-( -- Cheers, Thomas.
