Re: V5 Install Failure

V5 and V4 cannot coexist so you may want to just uninstall V4 first.  After
it completes, I like to manually delete the C:\WDSC folder which invariably
is left behind.  I also clean up any environment variables with C:\WDSC in
them.

Then do the V5 install.  I believe that V5 will attempt to do the
uninstall, but as you have seen it takes a VERY long time.

I just made my first attempt at installing V5.  So far, no success.

I have version 4 installed, but I have no projects that I want to migrate.

I started the install and it chunked away then said that it needed disk
2.  I removed disk 1, put in disk 2 and turned back to my screen.  After a
few seconds it told me that I had the wrong disk and that it wanted disk
1.  Arrgh!

There appeared to be two installion processes running, but each seemed to
be wanting a different disk.  I think the dialog that wanted disk 1 may
have been trying to warn me that I had V4 projects and wanted to know if I
wanted them migrated.  At this point the dialogs all got confusing, or at
least they confused me, and I think there was one hidden behind that I
didn't find until later...  Anyone, one finished and told me it wanted to
reboot, but since another was still running I told it no.   Then the other
wanted disk 2, chunked away, then just finished.  Not new menu items or
icons or request to reboot.

I rebooted but still no menu items or icons.  In Add/Remove programs I had
a V5 entry.

It put in disk 1 again and told it to modify.  It ran a bit then said it
was finished and nothing had changed.

So from Add/Remove programs I uninstalled the V5 entry.  Took quite a
while.

Good news is that V4 still works.  I'll try a V5 install again tomorrow.
