What files so i need to back up for new install .. I back up my tool.dat and my probe files.. are there any other files i need before removing the old software.
So im screwed if i UN-installed the old software.. Crap this sucks.. I hope I can get this machine back up and running..
You may be or you may not be, it's going to be very dependant on machine/controller and Pcdmis version. You have probably lost all your custom toolbars and so forth. AND, it might depend on WHEN you un-installed the old version. Myself, I trust Pcdmis about as far as I can throw a Suburban...... if you are running "V-x" and install "V-y", then un-install "V-x", is Pcdmis smart enough to NOT un-install items from the registry that "V-y" uses that "V-x" used? Just as a 'textual' example, if V-x uses registry setting "Save Directory C:\putithere" and "V-y" uses that same registry setting, when you un-install V-x does that setting get removed, even though a different version uses the same setting? I don't know and with the number of registry settings and the current state of "Pcdmis BUG", would YOU trust it to NOT un-install that? Not me.
