Upgrade Win Xp to Vista Home Premium
G'Day All,
I see I need to do a clean install and then reinstall my Apps - Ok! In Xp I have most Apps in C:/Program Files and a few in D:/Program Files. Do I need to reinstall the ones on D:/Program Files? If so, do I need to use WET on drive D, or are the settings on C? What is the significance of "Clean Install" - I thought this implied reduced functionality? -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________

With a clean install, you have to do a reinstall of all your 3rd Party
applications, and that includes Office, Anti-virus, Adobe, etc. When you install programs Registry Keys are installed. You will have a new install, you will have a new Registry. The old path is no longer there. - Mad Mike "Pat Garard" wrote: G'Day All, I see I need to do a clean install and then reinstall my Apps - Ok!

If you keep some programs in D:\Program Files (as I do) they will have to be
reinstalled also. I don't want to install something like Streets and Trips onto my C: drive and clog the drive with something I use infrequently.
