Hello -

I have been using the 60-day trial software for quite some time (currently
have Version 7.1.3088 installed) and have recently purchased Visual Studio
..net Special Edition Version 2003. I have a few practice web apps I would
like to keep.

Do I uninstall the 60-day trial and install the purchased version or can I
install over the trial version? What is the best way to handle the web apps
if I uninstall the trial version? What happens to my web apps if I install
over the trial version?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Make *sure* you completely uninstall the trial version before trying to
install Special Edition. I've read numerous reports of trouble with the new
product "expiring" if trial versions are not uninstalled first.
Although your web apps should be fine unless you've placed the solution
folders inside the Visual Studio folder hierarchy (I'm assuming that your
web apps are all in folders under InstallDrive(typically
C):\Inetpub\wwwroot).
If you want to be extra careful, make a copy of wwwroot and of any solution
folders not under wwwroot.
 
Thanks so much, Peter!
