Upgrade to 2.0 - have to uninstall?!?!

from Stardock Forums

Just bought the version 2.0 fences - tried to install it...

 

says I need to uninstall the current version, reboot, then install it...

I will lose all my current fences and content within each one...so I'll have to spend 30-60 minutes setting this all up again...??

Ok, just re-installed, and it remembered the settings - perhaps because when I did the uninstall, I said to not remove previous settings...?

Hope this helps someone else.

Yes, maybe if you used the forum search, you would see that is how it works - you uninstall Fences 1.x, but tell it NOT to remove the Fences and settings, and this will preserve them when you install Fences 2.x.
