Hi,

Will Xailer 8 overwrite the existing Xailer 7, or should we uninstall first?

Hi,

You can install Xailer 8 on top of Xailer 7, but I suggest you make a backup before the operation. BTW, there is no problem to install Xailer 8 on a different path. On those cases I suggest you copy the file \bin\xailer.cfg to the new \bin directory on Xailer 8.

Xailer 8 will requiere a new activation, but you can do it via Internet.

Regards,

Thanks, Ignacio.

I installed the first one, and everything seems fine.

The only manual intervention, was installing Harbour. Version 7 of Xailer was in C:\Xailer, and the previous Harbour was C:\Xailer\Hb32.

When installing Harbour after installing Xailer8, it defaults to C:\Xailer\Hb32, and there's no prompt that allows you to change it. So it's necessary to copy from C:\Xailer\Hb32 to C:\Xailer8\hb32.

Other than that, everything's fine. I'll try installing on the other PCs, including the portable microsd drive.


Regards,

DC

Hi Dwayne,

Xailer 8 uses the same harbour version as Xailer 7. So you might delete c:\xailer8\hb32 and configure the IDE to search for harbour in c:\xailer\hb32.

Thanks, everything's working fine. The extra folder doesn't cause any problems.
