V1 uninstall

Post by WA2SQQ »

V2 is stable enough for me to abandon V1. I use Revo Uninstaller to uninstall applications. If I uninstall V1, do I risk deleting any files used by V2? Both apps were installed in their default folders.

No problem to uninstall V1. The config folders have different names so not possible to delete V2 files
with V1 deinstallation.
73´s .. Juergen ... ALT-512 SDR (10W) , 50 m random wire at SG-211 autotuner, 2 x Xiegu G90 (20W HF TRX) one as portable Radio. Also TS-790E (40 W) for VHF/UHF with X-50 vertical and Duoband 4-Element LPDA.

I personally dont like uninstallers I just use windows add and remove programs, but hopefully it wont cause you problems because Log4OM 1 is a totally separate installation to V2

Understood, but ... V2 uses the ADIF files (in the same folder that V1 used).
Using the Windows uninstaller, would it also uninstall the ADIF data files? Of course, I do have them backed up, just in case.

No it leaves the user files alone but your choice

The V2 user files should be in a different folder unless you changed it

V1 uses a folder called /LogOM

V2 uses a folder called /Log4OM2

This is why its possible to run both programs at the same time
