PA 2007 installs not retaining previous settings
-
this is still not fixed and it means i have to change the toobars and settings every install.
-
Did they release beta 9 and I miss it?
-
-
try now guys…
-
It worked for me! :D :D :D
-
-
Fixed in PowerArchiver 2007 10.00.28 Beta 9

Just for fun err… testing, I uninstalled PA beta, rebooted, then installed PA 2006 and entered registration code.
Then I tried “upgrading” to Beta 9…
Of course, registration is “lost” - but the timer showed
Days Used : 16 (Out of 30)Not sure where this came from, but I like it - two weeks to get the new/free code seems eminently fair.
Maybe in this specifc case (upgrade of registered version) there should be a text stating that new codes are needed and where to get them?
Even the skin was preserved when switching to classic view :cool:
The only other setting not preserved were the shell extensions - not really surprising.

If you just installed PA 2007, it would be at 0. But uninstalling PA 2007 will not reset it to 0 :-)

As I said I don’t think there is a problem it is just that
if I uninstall PA 2007 and install PA 2006 it says:
Days 842 (out of 30) - Expired :DAnd I was used to seeing that - earlier 2007 BETAs also told me that.
Now if I uninstall PA 2007(B9) and install PA 2007(B9) it says:
Days 16 (out of 30)That’s why I mentioned it.
Maybe the 16 days used is just counted from installation of PA 2007 Beta 8 - but as I did enter register code for that I am not sure where it counts from :confused: -

Well I was just wondering if a first time upgrade from PA2006 to PA2007 will reset the counter to 0 for PA2007?
There is another “problem” however.
When upgrading from PA 2006 to PA 2007, the entry in Add/Remove programs for PA 2006 is not removed.
So I now have two entries.If I now click to remove PA 2006 - it actually removes the installed PowerArchiver but leaves the entry for PA 2007 in Add/Remove programs :confused:
-
You should uninstall PA 2007 and then PA 2006, and then install PA 2007.
As to the counter, it is relative to when it is installed first on your system, which is why it shows you 16 days… to person who installs it today, it will be 0.
thanks,

You should uninstall PA 2007 and then PA 2006, and then install PA 2007.
So “upgrading” from PA2006 to PA2007 is not going to be possible - only clean install (with loss of settings).

unless you want to leave PA 2006 entry in Control Panel…. If thats fine, then upgrading is possible.

fixed in latest beta
