installing KeyNote.NF_1.9.3.1.exe...installation question #691

Closed fitness888 closed 1 month ago

fitness888 commented 1 month ago

Can I install 1.9.3.1.exe auto installer as before...just backing up Profiles folder using the previous version in order to maintain my settings or will the auto installer now do that?

The installer will always respect your settings. It will only add and/or replace new files, such as the executable and the updated help file (or other files in the doc folder).

I thought you mentioned in past to always replace the Profiles folder with the previous version to carry the customized settings forward? My thinking was that Profiles folder got over written with the update...so now I don't have to do any copying of older files anymore is that correct?

This is from your installation notes...perhaps I'm misunderstanding, does this mean only if installing into the Programs or Programs (86) folders? "To use your configuration files, mainly keynote.ini, but also keynote.kns, keynote.def or keyboard.ini, etc., just copy them to the "Profiles\Default" folder"

This observation refers to what is needed if one is installing the application on an old version that does not use the Profiles folder and in which the configuration is therefore distributed in the files next to the executable. But if you have already been using a version that uses the Profiles folder and your configuration is correct, you don't have to do anything.
