Install single program?

[Dave Friend]

Steve,

I am in the same situation – waiting for rtx100 support. But I went ahead an installed the whole studio anyway. Don’t seem to have any problems with PPRO 2.0 and 1.5 (with matrox drivers) being on the same system. At least, haven’t had any issues just so far. But are fully functional, but of course, 2.0 can not utilize the rtx.

So a complete (upgrade) installation will leave all the prior versions of the programs intact, and not overwrite them?

[Dave Friend]

That’s what happend on my system.

…that I made a backup of my system drive before I started – just in case.

[Steve Slocomb]

did the same backup here (both in Ghost and Acronis)!! I have some major editing projects on my sytem.

I found that the install allows one to install just the programs one wants and not the whole package. I just can’t afford to put the new Premiere on the computer and “rock the boat” with so many large edit projects on it. Also I held off on After Effects right now because I may lose some of my plug-ins (like Puffin Image Lounge?)

Steve,

The new versions are installed in new, distinct folders.
For instance, version 1.5 and all it’s plug-ins, presets, ect, are in
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Premiere Pro 1.5
and version 2 is in
D:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0

So you won’t loose anything from the 1.5 install.

I copied the plug-ins need from my 1.5 install to the plug-in folders of the 2.0 install without trouble – with the exception of the Rtx100 stuff. Those caused PPro2.0 to fail at start-up. Everything else has worked flawlessly so far.

Version 1.5 projects have imported into V2.0 without incident too.

But I understand your reluctance to mess about with an upgrade mid-project.
