Title: QU installation question???
Post by: Box Brownie on August 21, 2010, 11:27:19 PM
Hi All

Just installed the trial but now have a question???

I recall that somewhere I read that QSE and QU can share their application data even though they are installed in separate folders, was this right?  And indeed did I read that even if the trial of QU is uninstalled the shared application data is unaffected and QSE will continue as 'normal'???

Right the reason for the question is that I had forgotten that I when I installed QSE I made the folder for the application data on another drive i.e. not the default root path in docs & settings.

So for the purposes of the trial and future buying (? ;) ) should I uninstall QU and reinstall selecting the path to my QSE application data folder???  I am sure that simply copying the folder contents and overwriting the QSE folder contents will mess up the QU uninstaller record ~ therefore not good practice!

TIA for the feedback

Yes, I'd recommend reinstalling QU and pointing its application data folder to the same folder you use in QSE.  Doing that will allow the sharing-but-not-interfering that is referenced on the web site.

Hi Mike

Many thanks for the qualified feedback I needed.  8) as always  :)

Right off to uninstall & reinstall with navigating to my chosen application data folder instead of 'accepting' the default offered as "just" done.
