Re: Where To Install SM2..
The installation instructions tell you that your old SM will be overwritten and at first I thought that's what happened. However, both Lee and I can confirm that the old SM is left intact. In my case at least I accepted the default location; don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. Luck, James . .

Re: Where To Install SM2..
It works the same way, despite what the installation instructions say. Apparently what fooled me to start with [other than the explicitly incorrect instructions] is that the quick launch icon seems to have been changed to point to the new version. And a very quick look only showed one copy; but a second look showed the old one at a slightly different location. I'm pretty sure it works on Vista just like on XP. Sorry for the confusion.

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.

Houston, do we have a problem? Well, most people are installing with no problem, but it is brand new software,so there are bound to be some glitches. 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. Therefore, you can select a custom install, and place the program wherever you like. If something goes wrong, you can always run SM 1.1.x, and fix the 2.0 install at your convenience. Most likely, nothing will go wrong. Lee Did not work for me.

I appreciate your help but as far as I'm concerned SM 2 is not good. Version 1 always worked for me without a problem but version 2 is not working. I'm not going to let 2 over-write my older version. Maybe it's time to move FF and TB? I just want something that works. The darn thing has only been out a few hours. I would suggest that you are way too quick on the trigger to give up so soon, though I understand that you are frustrated, and I do sympathize. Contrary to what the mozilla help pages say, SM 2.0 is not going to overwrite 1.1.x on Windows XP. I am pretty comfortable in saying that, since I've done it myself, and can open both with ease. Most people are getting it to work without a problem, as I have. I am a Mac guy primarily, so why don't you wait for those more expert in Windows to take a look.
