Can someone insure me that all will be well if I uninstall?

Previous update still there
I still have my previous update of MWP (6.5.4) on my desktop, together with version 1.0.19. Perhaps I should have uninstalled it when I updated, but I'm reluctant to uninstall now because I think I might delete some shared files, etc.
Can someone insure me that all will be well if I uninstall?

There are no shared files between the two versions so what your are proposing should not be a problem.Old-Timer wrote:I still have my previous update of MWP (6.5.4) on my desktop, together with version 1.0.19.

Upon installation, MWP2010 imports some (not all) settings from the earlier installation, and saves them in a seperate database.
After successfully installing 1.0.19 you should be able to safely uninstall the older version if you'd wish to free some disk space.. But as we say here in the Netherlands: as long as it doesn't eat any bread, why uninstall??
If you wish to uninstall, take care to pick the right version as they both have the same name and icon. Here on my system MWP 6 takes 22.16MB, and the new MWP 2010 only 17.83MB

MWP6 can perfectly co-excist with MWP 2010; provided you didn't install them in the same directory.Old-Timer wrote:I still have my previous update of MWP (6.5.4) on my desktop, together with version 1.0.19.

Re: Previous update still there
Thanks for the replies. I think I will keep the old version as a safety back-up for a while, knowing I can safely delete it when I want to. Thanks for the tip on file sizes (I was a little unsure when I first looked at them).
