[quote=doransdome;85812]I am getting ready to reload everything on a new pc. I have been thinking about the order and whether or not it makes a difference. I have read some posts about some install programs deleting other MTU programs. Here is what I thought I would do. Your comments are welcome.
Clean Install Windows XP Pro
Install Motherboard and Video CDs
What kind of "Video CDs"
Update thru SP3
Yes, WindowsCustom including SP3 + update video driver & computer manufacture's updates. And don't forget IE & WMP (if you're starting all over from scratch).
Add NetFrame 2.0
Hostser requires .NET 3.0
Add Lame
Install Microstudio 4.01 then upgrade to 4.06 (have to load old first, right?
Install Songverter 1.002 then upgrade to 1.10 (again old first, right?
Install Keyright 2010 then upgrade to 2010 (again old first, right?
Install Hoster Video 2219 then upgrade to 321a (old first, right?
It's would be better if you didn't have to go back before 3.321.
If you un-installed Hoster on-line (which version?), then you should be able to re-install the same version you had. Registration codes should match. (You said above that it's a "new PC" but also say "reinstall". Or, do you mean that you are moving Hoster from one machine to another?)
As you can see, my primary question is
must I load my original programs first, then the upgrades I have purchased,
or since I have purchased the upgrades can I just load the most current of each.
Hoster requires "uninstalling on-line". Then when "reinstalling" on whatever machine, MTU will know how many you copies of Hoster you have and what machine they are on. This is true for MS too.
If all programs were un-installed while connected to MTU & you have registration codes, you should be able to re-install your most recent purchases.
I would so much like to do this just once and have it all work, so if anyone has some guidance to offer I would sure appreciate it. It would sure be nice if I didn't have to load all the original versions then watch the upgrades remove them.
The BEST information with step-by-step instructions, in detail, is in the "Manual". That will explain a lot more than we have room to say on the Forum.
