just wondered where you got the idea that it wouldn't do what they

Anyway, clicking on my old shortcut to Seamonkey 1.x now loads Seamonkey
2.0 and I don't see the old one anywhere. It's probably not a good idea
to keep telling people they'll still have the old version to fall back
on when the download page tells you that you won't. Maybe if you
installed it in some other location???
I'm using Vista Home Basic 64 bit.

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.

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\xxxxxxxx.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\xxxxxxxx.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.
