This happened to me as well when I did a clean install to Win7 x64 from Vista 
x64.  Not entirely sure why it left the C:\Legacy folder, but it did.

Since I had already backed up everything on a separate drive, I just 
reinstalled Legacy normally to its default (C:\Legacy), and it installed 
without a hitch.  I still had to tell it where my data files were located, but 
everything worked perfectly, and all my settings remained intact.

So I'd recommend doing that, after you confirm you have all your Legacy stuff 
backed up in case it doesn't go as smoothly for you... :-)

Something just happened that I was not expecting. I did a "clean install" (not 
an in-place upgrade)  to  Windows7 from Vista. A clean install is supposed to 
basically wipe out your hard drive and give you a 'clean' system with just 
Windows on it, on which you then proceed to reload applications and data.

The install did exactly that, except for the C:\Legacy folder. I expected it to 
be be wiped out totally, but it's still there with what looks like the data 
files, but the Legacy application is gone. Absolutely no other 'non Windows' 
files or folders were retained.

I know this is really more a Windows question than a Legacy question, but has 
this happened to anyone else?

Also, since I'm not sure what is there and what isn't, I intend to delete the  
C:\Legacy folder before I re-download the application and restore my data from 
backups. Does this sound reasonable?
