uninstall first?

Published on October 2, 2007 By Shadowtechnique In WindowBlinds

Just wondering, should I uninstall v5 before I upgrade to the newly released v6?

I have the same question. I don't want to screw up my windowblinds installation. Do we just install the windowblinds600_enhanced.exe right over the current windowblinds 5?

I just went ahead and installed over the old version. It didn't cause any problems whatsoever.

I uninstalled version 5 first. If you choose to uninstall first, you have to also re-install your skins and wallpapers. The advanatage of an uninstall is it gets rid of any obsolete program files and allows one to clean-up the skin and wallpaper selections.

For those who are unaware ... the new version places the skins and wallpapers in a shared data folder on the C: drive and not in a Windowblinds subfolder. Not a big issue for most, but I imagine this could be annoying for those who partition their hard drive and want to install Windowblinds (and its data) on a partition other than C:. Whether there's a workaround to this install set-up, or if it's even an issue to anyone, I guess we'll soon find out.

So far so good with version 6. I had a lot of problems installing 5.51 and feared the worst. Fingers crossed things to continue to work well.
