64 bit Windows Upgrade problem on the horizon.

Post by bernilowe » 06 Apr 2006 10:35

I will be upgrading my system to Windows Vista when it is eventually released by Microsoft. The 64 bit versions of windows will not allow the installation of FH V2 in order to run the V3 upgrade programme.
The way Microsoft get round this is the check for a valid existing installation and, in its absence, prompt for the insertion of the installation media for the previous version before allowing the upgrade programme to install the newer version.
I would like to suggest that the developers consider this now as it will be an issue for any puchasers of the V3 upgrade who eventually migrate onto later versions of Windows.

I believe there is already a mechanism in place for this as latter V2.1 CD used the newer installer.
