Thanks for the quick reply. This does exactly what I wanted. After testing it
out, I have another question. After the upgrade, the old settings file is still
there. How do I remove the folder and the settings file for the last version?
Also, is it possible to remove the settings folder in the user's $APPDATA%
folder on an uninstall, but not when doing an upgrade?
Thanks,
Ryan
