[Dx4win] Deleting older versions?

[Dave Perry N4QS]

Jim,

Just for the record, I uninstalled the lpt driver as you suggested.  I then 
reinstalled it under 8.04.  However, it prompted me to install the driver in 
the dx4w803\lptdriver folder -- which would have put it right back in the 
folder that I had just uninstalled.  So I merely typed in a new directory 
and selected the main dx4w804 directory under Program Files.  Works fine. 
Your emails about deleting older versions prompted me to do just that 
yesterday.  I also upgraded to 8.04 without a hitch.

BTW, nice working you in the NAQP yesterday.

Dave, N4QS

One thing to add (based on an experience I just had trying to remove 8.03):

In DX4WIN 8.0x, first uninstall the LPT driver by going into the:

  dx4w803\lptdriver

directory and running "unins000.exe".

Then uninstall that version of DX4WIN.  Otherwise, the lptdriver
directory won't be removed.

You will need to run the lptdriver installation again with your most
recent version of DX4WIN if you need it.
