Probably Dumb but...

WB6/WB7

Monday, November 9, 2009 by DrJBHL | Discussion: WindowBlinds

This is a question that probably has been answered but I haven't seen it around. If one has WB7 beta intalled, does WB6 have to be there too?

Is there any benefit?

If one chooses to uninstall WB6 would that have consequenses to WB7?

Thanks!

Yes.

Yes.

It appears as though WB7 depends upon WB6 to run.

It's not too often one gets to help the doc!

Um, I only have WB7 beta. This is a clean install of Windows 7 last Friday - WB6 no good here

That prevented some unnecessary surgery.   And complications!

For some reason, when I installed WB7, Impulse also installed WB6. When I went to uninstall WB6, Impulse also uninstalled WB7. Kinda weird, I know, but maybe the machine takes after its user!

*Confucius say Impulse one inscrutable critter.

I don't believe both are actually installed on your pc although it shows both as installed in impulse.
