Upgrading TMG Silver v4 to TMG Gold v6?

Legg inn av Gregory Bailey » 25 mar 2005 16:00:42

Hi, I've been running TMG Silver version 4, have just purchased TMG Gold
version 6 but have been a little concerned about installing it since I'm
skipping a version. Can I install the Gold v6 over what I'm running now, and
will it upgrade everything and not lose any of my data?

Check the TMG support forum http://www.whollygenes.com/forums201/index.php


I started with V5 but I do believe that with version 4 you can run both
versions. Version 6 does not overwrite anything earlier than V5.

I recently did that particular upgrade on my wife's system and I would recommend
the following.
*Using Windows Explorer, look at C:\Program Files\The Master Genealogist (or
whatever it was called at the time or optionally called) and look for any of
your user data and especially in the "projects" folder that one is usually
steered to. Move any of that to somewhere else on your drive and "projects"
could be moved in its entirety. BTW, that "projects" default can be changed and
should be in my opinion as it doesn't belong under Program Files.
* Go to Start-Control Panel and uninstall TMG 4
* Look for the Program Files TMG folder again and delete anything that might
remain there.
* You now have a clean slate.
* If you haven't already done so, go to the website and download the 30-day free
trial. That is the *full* install package and not an upgrade patch.
*Install 6.0. You will be prompted for your serial number the first time you use
TMG *after* the installation and it's a good idea to have it handy somewhere on
your desktop so that you can copy & paste it
*Use the File-Import in 6.0 to read your databases the very first time only and
follow the instructions. In our cases, our 4.0 or 5.15 databases were read and
converted without any problems. Enjoy! There are quite a few good improvements.
