Here's my take, for what it's worth. At least in the Windows world, the assumption is that when you install a new version it either removes the old version entirely, or leaves the old version functional but installs the new version in parallel. (The latter is less common, but some programs do it when the new version is a major change.) Leaving a few old files behind as orphans is usually regarded as an error of the new installer.
I don't have a problem with the requirement to uninstall the old version, but it was news to me, and I think would surprise many Windows users. Surely the installer of the new version can uninstall the old version itself -- and in my opinion, it should. -- Regards, Stan Brown Tompkins County, New York, USA http://BrownMath.com http://OakRoadSystems.com _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
