: Hi Mark,

: So now that 5.0 is officially out, what's the best way to install so that I keep my FM 5.0 BETA settings, given the following scenario:

: FM 4.7 is installed in E:\Fund Manager
: FM 5.0 BETA is installed in E:\Fund Manager 5.0 Beta
: Each version has its own FM data directory (D:\FM Data & D:\FM 5 Data)

: I want to install the new 5.0 into E:\Fund Manager, but I need the data from FM 5 Data. I then want to get rid of FM 5 beta directories.

: My plan is as follows:

: Back up 4.7 stuff onto external media
: Install new FM 5.0 into E:\Fund Manager
: Move D:\FM 5 Data to D:\FM Data
: Delete E:\Fund Manager 5.0 Beta & D:\FM 5 Data

: Would this do the trick? Note that since using the BETAs (which were remarkably stable), I did not update any of my 4.7 data files or settings - I basically worked "full-time" with the BETA versions.

: Cheers,
: Danny

Hi Danny,
Yes, this would work fine. Basically, you can install 5.0 wherever you want,
it doesn't affect your data files, or their location.

Thanks,
Mark
