<div>Thanks Bob for all the information. I had saved your post previously for when I decided to give WT4 a try. This seems like a lot of extra steps for a full release product. One would expect this from a Beta. What to the developers have to say regarding the steps you have outlined below? I am hoping some other folks will comment as to their experiences as well. I appreciate you help and will give it a go this weekend perhaps.</div>

<blockquote style="BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; PADDING-LEFT: 1ex" class="gmail_quote">I strongly recommend installing Win-Test 4 in a separate place, such as C:\Program Files\Win-Test 4 or \WT4, rather than "directly over" version 3. You could also rename C:\Program Files\Win-Test to Win-Test.V3 before the install, but that will break your existing WT 3 shortcuts.<br>
<br>See <a href="http://www.f5mzn.org/pipermail/support/2009-July/077694.html" target="_blank">this post</a> for tips on migrating your configuration files from Win-Test 3 to Win-Test 4. It is a cumbersome manual process. Note that you need a different reg. key for V4, which you must obtain after installing V4. Use the traditional method (Help | Regsiter Software ...).<br>
<br>There's also a <a href="http://www.f5mzn.org/pipermail/support/2009-July/077695.html" target="_blank">follow-up post</a>.<br><br>Maybe some day the installer will be upgraded to copy the old V3 .ini, .xdt, .wav, and .dtb files to the new locations in the C:\Documents and Settings\ folder, but for now it does not do that and you will lose all your settings if you don't follow the migration procedure I mentioned above.<br>
<br>Note that version 4.0.1 has a really scary bug that will fill up your hard disk if you try to double click on an old .wtb file after installing it. Therefore, install version 4.1.0-dev instead of 4.0.1. Get it from: <br>

<br>Note also that version 3.27 has a significant bug (missing menu Tools | Data Entry), so install 3.27.1-dev to get around that problem:<br><br>
<div style="MARGIN-LEFT: 40px"><a href="http://download.win-test.com/nightly/wt_dev.zip" target="_blank">http://download.win-test.com/nightly/wt_dev.zip</a> (no password required)<br></div><br>Finally, for either version, don't forget to run wt_dev.exe instead of clicking on the WT icon. Otherwise you'll be running the old (buggy) WT.EXE.<br>

<div>Hello,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This may have been covered before, so my apologies. Can I install Win-Test version 4 directly over version 3.27 or do I need to uninstall Win-Test? The Wiki says I can install over top of previous version. If I do install directly over version 3 will it save my existing configurations; for example: radio setup, MK2R+ setup? Besides having to re-register what else do I need to worry about?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks & 73,</div>
