I am under Windows XP SP3 and i finally have installed SM2.0.2 without

This is to inform everybody that he should
- First use add/remove program to Remove SM1.
- Then Install SM2 by running the donwloaded SeaMonkey Setup 2.0.2.exe.
I had installed SM2 without removing first SM1:
- I encountred a mixed between SM1 and SM2 in the "Start" - "All
Programs" - "Seamonkey"
- Then to eliminate the mix - i used add/remove program to Remove SM1.
- The mix dissappeared - so far so good - BUT also the link to start SM2
by using "Start" - "All Programs" - "Seamonkey"
To remove this problem:
- I used add/remove program to Remove SM2.
- And finally i install SM2 by running the donwloaded SeaMonkey Setup
2.0.2.exe.
- Now the "Start" - "All Programs" - "Seamonkey" is ok and suit SM2 only
and completely.
So i repeat:
- First use add/remove program to Remove SM1.
- Then Install SM2 by running the donwloaded SeaMonkey Setup 2.0.2.exe.
To avoid the problem i encountered.
You could also have used the Properties dialog for the Start menu
shortcuts, to repoint them to the new location for SeaMonkey 2.0. Its a
hassle, I admit, but it would have saved you the ininstall/reinstall of
SM2.
(i have modified my previous text due to a mistake)
The problem was first because having both SM intalled, the start menu
dialog points to a mixed of SM1 and SM2; then after removing SM1 the
problem is not to repoint somewhere, but to réinstate loosed links.
This last action removing/installing SM2 was very fast(no migration
step) and give me a surely correct situation.
This is to explain why i have done this to cure the problem.
Anyway the message i will pass to everybody is:
Don't remove SM1 after installing SM2 ... DO IT BEFORE.
All I can say is that I installed SM 2.0 without removing SM 1.1.18.
BOth currently exist on my XP machine. The StArt menu shortcuts ppoint
to SM 2.0., so its not a consistent behavior, I guess.
