Can 2010 coexist with v6.x

[CharlesF]

Anyone know if v2010 will coexist with v6.x? I want to continue using v6.x until I have finished playing around with v2010.

Also, can I force MWPro 2010 to use a specific folder for its data using an Application Data.lnk in the program folder like I can in v6.x.

Many thanks.

Yes they do coexist if you install them in their default folders and don't install in the same folder.

I have both here but switch off all the auto stuff like auto-fetching, auto-deleting etc... from v6 this is the main place the two would clash.

Can anyone answer this part of my original query Please. Rusticdog?

If your using NTFS then windows has this feature for any folder.

And yeah, no way in MailWasher to do this but something we need to add.

If you are looking at adding things how about adding a check to make sure that 2010 is not being installed into an existing v5-6 program directory? Either refuse to install or at least warn that both programs may become corrupted and unusable.
