Thanks, James . . First of all, even if you install SM 2.0 in the default location, it will not overwrite the existing SM 1.1.x. It installs to its own location, and sets up a new profile in a new location. As long as you do not uninstall SM 1.1.x, you cn easily run the two independently of each other. Well, all I can say is that installing 2.0 on Win XP SP3 installed to a separate SeaMonkey folder in Program Files, leaving 1.1.14 untouched in the mozilla.org folder. On the other hand, on Mac OS X, I installed it as instructed to Applications, which did overwrite 1.1.18. At least that is what happened to me. Lee You might check the properties of the old Seamonkey shortcut-mine was changed to go to the new install and I had to point it to my old installation and then everything was OK. -- You either teach people to treat you with dignity and respect, or you don't.

Thanks, ---psuatocobra Good question,and I am happy to say the answer is yes, on my XP test box, both SM 1.1.14 and 2.0 appear and can be uninstalled. BOth can be started and run. Do note that the Mail/News data is now separate. If you download mail in 1.1.x and have it deleted from the server, it will not appear in 2.0, and reverse. For your testing period, you may want to have POP accounts set to leave copies in the server.

Lee Okay, I have installed SM 1.1.18 on Vista Ultimate, 64. Here is the path to the program: C:\Program Files (x86)\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey\SeaMonkey.exe This opens 1.1.18. The profile is here: C:\users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Profiles\(profilename\.slt I then installed SM 2.0, and migrated the profile data. the progarm is here: C:\Program Files (x86)\SeaMonkey\SeaMonkey.exe The profile is here: C:\users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\.default By navigating to the exe in the appropriate Programs File folder, I can open either. You can tell easily by the different default theme. (By the way, the default 2.0 theme is a great improvement!) It is true that when 2.0 is installed, the desktop shortcut will point to it. But my navigating to the exe in Program Files (x86)\mozilla.org\Seamonkey\, you can open 1.1.18, with its distinct profile. You can even create a separate desktop shortcut pointing to that version.
