If you're using the same versions of the extensions, they should all work with any newer 1.1.x version. Are you talking about the C:\Documents and Settings\James Skinner\Application Data\Mozilla or the C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey ? The latter, which is the application directory. Select a different directory than that in the 2.0b1 installer. The former is the profile, and it will be copied to a new one in C:\Documents and Settings\James Skinner\Application Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey in the process of migration.

How is this done without endangering my current current profile. Thanks Just care to install the 2.0b1 into a different application directory so that you don't overwrite the 1.1.x installation (you should really upgrade that one to the upcoming 1.1.18 though, there are a number of serious known security problems with 1.1.4). At first start, 2.0b1 will offer you to migrate your profile, and it doesn't touch the old profile for that, it just copies any info it can use from the old profile and places that into the new one. So, to summarize, your current profile is never in danger with the 2.0b1 version, it copies any information from there to its own, new profile if you select to migrate. What can be in danger is the 1.1.x application installation itself, as both install in the same location by default - if you want to use them in parallel, remember to select a different location in the installer.

Thanks JAS I think all your extensions in 1.1.14 will work with 1.1.18. Just be sure to choose "skip" during the installation processus when SM installer offers to check compatibility. -- John Doue ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

How is this done without endangering my current current profile. Thanks I think that i have read that the two profiles (for 1.1.x and for 2.x) are differents. The profile for 2.x is created from the profile for 1.1.X at installation time of the 2.x. Then the two profiles are independents. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
