>Just downloaded, installed it. Will do some final testing on our main application. Hope to be deployed before noon pacfiic time. Anyone think they can beat me? :-D

I could... but decided to read the Readme first this time :)

I am still trying to understand the first paragraph under 1.2.1

"You can safely install or uninstall using Visual FoxPro 8.0 Setup. If you are upgrading to Visual FoxPro 8.0, you must first uninstall Visual FoxPro 7.0. Though Visual FoxPro 8.0 and Visual FoxPro 7.0 can exist on the same computer, you cannot install Visual FoxPro 8.0 in the same directory as Visual FoxPro 7.0."

The first sentence sounds good - i.e. you dont get hurt in the process.
The second sentence says that "you MUST uninstall 7.0" if you upgrade to VFP 8.o
The third sentence seems to contradict the second.

On my computer I have FPD 2.6, FPW 2.6, Vfp 5/6/7, and I thought I'll just add VFP 8, but it is not clear if this is possible or not. The only reason I see now to keep 7.0 is to test possible differences between versions if I need it.
