    1. [FHU] Upgrading FH under Crossover
    2. Colin Buckthorp via
    3. Mike, just a brief postscript to below. This will be the first time I’ve upgraded FH under Crossover. I’ve downloaded the FH 6.0.4 upgrade executable. Is this a full stand alone version of FH 6? When I double click to execute the upgrade Crossover sees it as a new program and prompts to install in a new Win 7 bottle given the name ‘upgrade_fh6_to_fh6.0.4_dl’. Do you know whether this is the right way to do it or should I install into the existing 'Family Historian’ Bottle? If the latter, will this update/overwrite the previous FH version or will I get two installs - old & new - in the same bottle? Apologies if this is a dumb question but I’d rather be safe than sorry. Grateful any advice you can offer. regards Colin Buckthorp -----Original Message----- From: Colin Buckthorp <cbuckthorpe@btinternet.com <mailto:cbuckthorpe@btinternet.com>> Subject: Re: [FHU] Which emulation programmes are supported?

Thanks the heads up. regards Colin Buckthorp -----Original Message----- Subject: Re: [FHU] Which emulation programmes are supported? You success with AS is because you are using V4.5 and not the latest V5.0 which exhibits the problem, so do NOT upgrade! You talk about upgrading to FH V6.4 but I think you mean V6.0.4 and I advise that you do upgrade. Regards, Mike Tate

    3. Colin, I am not a Crossover user so rely on others for advice. FH V6.0.4 is a full version but requires a licensed installed V6 copy that it overwrites. So in genuine Windows it is installed over the existing FH V6 leaving one version. The FHUG Knowledge Base says to install both in Crossover into the same FH Bottle. In other words it is similar to installing AS into the same FH Bottle, but FH V6.0.4 overwrites FH V6.0.0.
