Upgrading w/out loosing customizations?

Postby Neumann » Sat Dec 12, 2009 10:42 am

Hello! :?:
I've read thru a few forum articles but I'm still not certain how/IF my customized UltEd 2.4 can be upgraded to 2.5
Note "4 Upgrade ~vs~ update, and the upgrade script" appears outdated, and references to "Fiesty" and other names- in lieu of version numbers -still confuse me a little

Please advise if this can readily be done. Note I've already burnt 2.5 to DVD and went to install (UPGRADE) my 2.4, but it appears to only offer a full installation -thus wiping out 2.4 an all my customizations to date (including add'l apps...)
(Meanwhile I backed out of the 2.5 'install')

Thanks.
Al (Newly acclimated from MS-Windows...) :D

Hello and welcome to the Ultimate Edition Board Neumann. It is good to have you here :D Re your question, we 'only" and always recommend a clean installation if your interested in installing a newer version of Ultimate Edition. A recommendation would be to create a home partition separate so that if and when there is a new release of Ultimate Edition, all you need to do is to backup your external data and do and clean installation "no harm done" an all your custom settings wouldn't be affected because then you would have had everything in your home partition!!
