Thanks Ron, but I don't see how to do your workaround. Legacy downloads seem to come only as setup packages, so I can't see how to get access to Legacy.exe until the Registry has already been written. Do I have that wrong? I also no longer have a clean machine:
My Legacy 6 folder is ~1.1 GB, so I'm a bit reluctant to dismember it. I copied it to a fresh XP install, ran the original setup to make the Registry entries etc., and all seemed well, though I didn't check whether I had reverted the version to 6.0.0.0. I did some merges, including calling in Intellishared satellites to synchronize all to the master. I then installed the latest version of Legacy 7 to a prepared folder by that name and tested it briefly - all well, but Legacy 6 quit. It seems possible that I could go back and forth between 6 and 7 by repeated "installs", but the thought of doing that to a Microsoft Registry stands my remaining hair on end. Risking an XP reinstall isn't attractive because it's a dual boot machine (Linux), there's now no redundancy on the Legacy 6 stuff, and I'm nervous about uninstalls if the Registry is now odd. As I understand the EULA, running De Luxe versions of the same upgrade chain on different machines would probably be a violation. Any advice?

Say you install Legacy6 first, you can then download the full version of Legacy7 to a convenient folder, and change the name of the Legacy.exe file to LegacyNew.exe and install in a different folder.
