Install X5 with/without uninstall of X4 ?

Post by mangurian »

Are there any pros/cons in deciding if I should uninstall VS Pro X4 before installing X5 ?

thanks,

No need to uninstall any previous version when installing a new version.

X5 will install alongside X4 without any problems and you can still use both versions - though not at the same time.

Several of us have more than one version installed - I currently have four working versions on my computer, I never un-install a version - in my case because it allows me to check back when answering users with earlier versions. Old versions only go when I upgrade my computer and only install the latest couple of versions on the new one.

Providing you are not very low on hard drive space just install X5 with X4 - you can then always check back and forth if you need to and bring any thing from X4 into X5
