Don,
Did V7 really uninstall? There have been problems with that.

Well…
I ran the L8 uninstaller. It left behind C:\Program Files (x86)\Legacy8 folder
containing 1919 files, 82 folders with a total size of 138MB. That’s the same
size as the new installation. The My Documents\Legacy Family Tree folder was
also left behind and the same size as the new installation. There were also
numerous Registry entries left behind. I reversed those and deleted the folders
and contents, including the C:\Legacy folder that I now know was left after
uninstalling L7. I realize that uninstalling a program often leaves files and
Registry entries, but what I found goes beyond a ‘conservative’ uninstall.

Thanks guys,
I have been using Family Tree Maker and had not yet imported the Gedcom in L7.
I forgot to uninstall L7 before installing L8. I was hoping to easily have a
‘do over’. But, I think it best to do it the ‘right way’ rather than the
easiest.
