Re[2]: Multi-Boot PC
Hello Peter, Wednesday, April 3, 2002, 1:34:45 AM, you wrote: PP Install TB! where ever you like. FYI I installed TB! in for the 2nd OS onto the extended partition. In the exact location as the 1st OS. No problems! Works fine so far. As instructed I exported the portion of the registry under RIT, and there were 2. I originally installed forgetting to import those previous exports. On starting TB! it ask for the new account. I closed did the import of the registry. Things seem to work fine after the import of the registry. Instructions for TB! multi-boot PC with multi-partitioned disk: 1) Export all pertinent registry entries pertaining to RIT from OS where TB! first installed. 2) Reboot PC into 2nd OS. 3) Import registry files into registry created from #1 with merge from right click of file. 4) Install TB! in 2nd OS in exact location as 1st installation. I THINK the key is what ever OS is booted TB! is still in the same path. If my memory is correct this was a potential issue for VA on multi-boot PC where the OSs was not able to keep the same path. I don't recall what the work around was. I presently use just Win98. This maybe a problem when I install Win2k or WinXP Pro. If someone is more clear on path issue where different OS used, please let me know. I would sure like to know. -- Best regards, Gregmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

PP (The name and [if different from default] account dir are stored in PP registry, account data itself not). I'm not certain what you are trying to say here. I think you are trying to tell me the account name is stored in the registry. So if I import the pertinent portion of the registry into the other OS, I'm okay. But since I have only installed TB! once for the trial, it may ask for the account name on installation. If account name asked on installation, then any information provided on the install MUST be the same as what is already in the registry. I don't know, so please clarify. TIA! -- Best regards, Gregmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re[2]: Multi-Boot PC
Hello Peter, Wednesday, April 03, 2002, 4:34:45 PM, Does this suggest that TWO (or more) licences would then be required for this arrangement? That is to say, is the licence for a user, a computer (hardware) or an O/S (software) configuration? PP Hello Greg, PP On Wednesday, April 3, 2002 at 2:32:04 AM you wrote (at least in PP part): GS Can TB! be configured to run on a multi-boot PC so ONLY ONE message base GS exists? PP Yes. GS I have 3 partitions GS (1) 1st partition for application set A OS Win98 GS (2) 2nd partition for application set B OS Win98 GS (3) Extended partition for data GS This set up is to eliminate potential conflicts of applications. GS What I've done for other applications is install them on the extended GS partition because it always boots to D.
