Hello Peter, I am well, especially on such a nice day as this is and I hope you are too.
Although I haven't uninstalled earlier versions before downloading the updates only Version 2.2 is showing in the list of currently installed programs in 'Add or Remove Programs' and on each of the two updates the new version has replaced the old one in the Start Menu. However, the folders have remained in Program Files and having just this minute opened each of the older folders I see that they are completely empty except for a folder called Program which is itself empty. I should have done that before posing my question! Many thanks for your help. Margaret. On 31/03/07, Peter Hillier-Brook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Thanks for reminding me to do the same. :-) > In a folder that I use to locate files when I download them I also > have further three folders of installation files and also the > application files that were downloaded with each new version.

You only need to keep the current version's files to allow for changing your installation options and for repair purposes. Even that is not strictly necessary as you can recreate the installation files from the download file. I hope that you are well. Best wishes.
