Default Hello Fred, The best proced

Hello Fred,

The best procedure is this:
  1. Back up your \Program Files\MidiNotate\Songs directory in a duplicate directory, just for extra safety, even though the setup program doesn't delete the Songs directory or any files in it except the example songs files (Minuet.mid, RhapsodyInBlue.not, etc.)
  2. Uninstall Composer 1.0.9. This step also isn't necessary. You should be able to install Composer 1.1.x on top of it. But uninstalling Composer 1.0.9 first will minimize possible problems.
  3. IMPORTANT: Do _not_ also manually delete the \Program Files\MidiNotate directory or \Program Files\MidiNotate\Composer directory. Otherwise, you'll lose the MidiDev.cfg file (MIDI Device Configuration information) that is reused by the newly installed version of Composer. Also, never just delete a program directory as an alternative to using the uninstall program; this advice applies to any Windows program.
  4. Re-download your purchase copy Composer, following the instructions at www.notation.com/redownload.htm. The newly downloaded copy will be the latest version (currently 1.1.4) of Composer.
  5. Install the latest version of Composer in whatever directory you want, which by default is the same default directory as version 1.0.9 used: \Program Files\MidiNotate. In the setup program, you specify the parent directory \Program Files\MidiNotate rather than the sub-directory \Program Files\MidiNotate\Composer where composer.exe is stored. Other MidiNotate products may share the same parent directory \Program Files\MidiNotate.
Cheers
