HP computer...XP Pro SP3....I have Roxio 7.2 on my computer and purchased Roxio 9. Should I uninstall 7.2 before I install 9 or will 9 go over the top of 7.2? Or...can I install 9 and have them both? I don't see any point in having them both, but I'm comfortable with 7.2 and might need it until I get used to 9.
v9 will overwrite the previous version. My personal position does not support overwrites unless directed by the manufacturer. I like clean installs.
Though some applications during an overwrite do attempt to remove files, all too often old files, obsolete code, and registry entries are left. This increases the chances of conflicts and application corruption.
Some members express a concern regarding lost preferences or settings. To me it is not a big intrusion to have to reconfigure an application when it is helping to insure proper operation.
I did the same--bought a later version. Now, of course, I do not remember whether I installed over the old one or did a clean install, but I'm inclined to think I uninstalled the older version before installing the newer one.
