Another problem.

 

I am running V7 on a Vista machine. Previously I was running 6.x on XP.

 

When I upgraded both the machine and the TMG, I followed the instructions for transferring my primary project.

 

Unfortunately, I found 4 sets of files for different projects, with dates ranging from 2004 to 2006. These were "one time" projects done for friends.

 

What to do? V6 is not on this Vista machine. Can I load it?

 

If so, do I use the "upgrade to 6.x" from the WG "archive file" downloads?

 

What about the files done in 2004?

 

Now, if anyone ever asks me why *all* projects should be in one file, I know the answer. :angry:

You transfer data from TMG v6 to TMG v7 by restoring a v6 project backup with your v7 installation as described in this pinned topic:

You can install TMG v6 and make the backups. TMG v6 and TMG v7 are entirely different programs and both can be installed and run on the same machine.

 

To run v6 under WinVista, you need to read this document:

http://www.whollygenes.com/files/tmg6andwinvista.pdf

 

The PDF document contains a link to download the TMG v6.12 full installer.

You could also ZIP up the contents of each v6 project folder (minus the .CDX files) and send each of those to Support and have them make the backups and return them to you.

(Revised after seeing Pat's comments. Forgot that the PDF document contains a download link.)

Thanks so much. I got the link to download from the document you referenced, downloaded the program and it went like a whiz.

 

Got my "oldies but goodies" copied into V7, and all is well.

 

Never do that again.

 

Pat :D
