Well, simple works. I did a standard install and it seems to be fine. I was presented with all the options and entered my codes. Advanced Schematic 3 is now running (as far as I can tell) just fine. I have no idea where it put the various DLLs, but I can't find any in the various WinNT directories, so my OS still seems to be clean. Life is good.
BTW, I guess I'm not alone in finding Protel's charge for upgrading is kind of insane. I think my 16 bit software cost me about $2000. To upgrade now to DXP would cost me $6000. Apparently, Protel thinks that charging three times the original cost of the software to upgrade is a sound and logical business plan. It sounds moronic if you ask me.
Well ... 32-bit software is 65536 times as good as 16-bit software isn't it? Altium should be charging you $131 Million to upgrade.
