Hi David,
I made a copy to the Legacy 8 directory. Legacy 9 uses the v8 file and converts it to the new format. I then renamed the legacy8 file and was able to open it with Legacy 8. However, I did not copy the rest of the user files so Legacy 8 opened with some of the attributes of v9. So, yes, Legacy 9 will install to the same directory (and no warnings or options). However, it begs the question, why would you want Legacy 8 after upgrading to v9. The look and ‘feel’ of v9 is the same as v8 so I don’t see any reason to preserve v8. I did it so I could go back to v8 to assist others that had not upgraded. I don’t think that’s necessary as v9 is basically the same with a few enhanced features (and a couple of bug fixes!) After I upgraded to v9 even 99%+ of my settings were the same and my file even opened up to the last person viewed. No need to look back!

Before doing the install I did a Check/Repair, found all was well, then did a check of media paths, and found to my surprise a couple of errors, which I've since fixed and double checked. Yes I've done multiple backups to play it safe, but I haven't as yet installed Legacy 9 ! You see when I view my old Legacy8 directory structure in Windows 7, it all hangs off C:\Legacy8 and of course all the subdirectories flow downwards from this. My question is this: When I do the install, will Legacy 9 install into this same directory ? What would my best course of action be please ? Should I change the directory name, or just curse my own pedantic nature and wish I'd just chosen C:\Legacy to begin with ?
