LOL, I think there are quite a few of us.

I think I will stay in the dark.

Nah, you've got it backwards my friend.
You have to come over to
The Dark Side with the rest of us...

During install when the screen comes up for destination folder I put C:\Program Files\DVDFab 7508 beta and start menu folder I put DVDFab 7508, which will allow me to have more than one version installed.

Okay, I didn't think that was possible.

I have ONE version 6 and ONE version 7 installed, and numerous installers for various versions on my desktop, but whenever I instal any of them from an installer they overwrite the installed ones.

Do you mean installed?

Or just you had the installers downloaded?

I also thought you could only have one version of 7 actually installed (working) at a time. Can of course have numerous installers on your desktop?

Hello my friend Correction, I had 7090 and 4 beta versions installed during testing, I would just click which one I wanted to use.

You just install over the top and it retains your setting & registration info.

You cannot have multiple versions of the same major release installed but you may have multiple installations of different major versions.

eg. You can have any release of Version 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 all installed but you cannot have multiple versions of 7 installed.
This is why I said to keep the installers so that you can revert at any time.

Thank you for your advice. I think I've got it sorted now with all your help. Once again thank you.

Thank you all for your advice. I just made a separate folder to keep all my old installed fab on. I think I get what you mean, as in if there is a fault with a new version I can just reinstall the old version which makes sense now. I also well I think so turned off the automatic updates. I went to general settings and there was something they saying automatically check for updates which I took off, I think this is correct. Also still confused about the beta version and what is it. Thank you all for your time and advice .

YES about reinstalling (if needed) and YES about the automatic updates.

For the first few years I had DVD Fab I only ever installed the official releases, never had any problems.

I do usually now instal most betas, but for example have not installed the lastest two as I only do DVD to DVD.

I'm guessing you can't see it. I'm sure mine's worse.

No I cannot see it, don't worry.............

I have a "Fab Installer" folder on my desktop that I shove them in after the install is done.

I am guessing your desktop is nowhere near as cluttered up as mine.

Good idea.
