Loading SW 2007

Can someone suggest a way to load SW 2007 without it automatically
taking over? I want to keep all file associations with SW 2006.

Thanks

No chance, not unless you save your registry keys in
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.SLDPRT (etc.) then import them again after loading
SW07 but this is well dodgy.

 

Rather than try to do a custom install, which may screw stuff up, I'd
modify it post installation. Right click on a file that you'd rather were
associated with 2006, select open with, select "choose program", browse to
your sw 2006 executable, hit the checkbox to always use the program, and you
are good-to-go. When installing 2007 you will have to specify directories
other than those currently in use by 2006, or it'll overwrite toolbox data
ect.

 

Put on a 2nd Hard Drive and Ghost over the OS, then install 2007 to try
it.

Sorry, I should have also noted I would load over the solids files I
wanted to try out onto that same new hard drive.

Hi thr

I feel and as i had work installing SW2006 over 2005 and sure that the
file associations doesn't go off.

So u can install it on the same hard disk

Well take care of few things like make a separate folder for program
files, common files, backup folder, toolbox and other related things so
that the files are not overwrited.
