Photoshop Upgrade7

I too vote that you exorcise 6.0 from your machine like an evil spirit from Linda Blair.

Normally an upgrade writes over the current software program and the old one is replaced, this did not happen.

Adobe opts to not install over a previous version when doing upgrades. This is due to the fact that many professionals use these apps for their livlihood, and just perchance that there is a bug, defect or problem with the new version, you would be dead in the water without having the option to revert back to the previous version to make a deadline. It is good thinking on Adobe’s part.

Remove the old version with the caveat to NOT remove shared files.

About the only program I know of that kills the old version when you load a new one is Internet Explorer. So frustrating to web designers who would like multiple copies so they could test sites in different versions.

Some other programs will write a new version into the same directory by default, removing the old one, but usually you can bypass this by selecting a new folder. (Never do a quick install … always use custom).

Internet Explorer 2 is a single EXE. Unfortunately, if you run it, it takes over associations and won’t let go.

Fortunately, we don’t have to test for IE2 any more.

heh!
