I used my existing key, no problems. I even copied and pasted my .ini from the 4.60 version into the 5.00 version so I would not have to redo all my preferences.

Does that work? :D

Will give it a go.

Thanks

EDIT:

Downloaded the zip version, pasted files into Everest directory and it carried on as norm! :D

Not exactly. I think the best way to explain what happened would be to use the good old saying, 'Never get a women to do a mans job'.

I just installed mine, it sort of upgraded (installed in same folder, same icon works) license worked.

I use to have the older version installed and never thought of saving the .ini files for my settings, so i just cut the whole folder and relocated it off my o.s partition. Everytime i formatted, it made no difference, because everest could be started by going to the relocated directory. This always maintained my settings (Except startup, but i prefer to manually boot up Everest anyways).

Ive installed the new version and i tried to copy my .ini files over to the new version but i dont get the custom OSD panel :( Any advice ?

Strange, I have been using the same everest.ini file for at least six months, over probably a dozen BETA releases of 4.60, and it worked the same from 4.60.1631 to 5.00.1650.

BTW, the first BETA for 5.00 is available.

I am curious, how do you install over the previous version, just copy the new files to the existing folder?

CrAsHnBuRnXp

I just ran the exe for version 5.00. It installed and no issues.

Hmm...

When I ran the .exe, it installed a "Lavalys" folder, while my previous 4.60 was in a folder named "everestultimate_build_1631_zx2ctmy3swb". That is probably why I needed to enter my key and copy the .ini file to the new version?

#20

CrAsHnBuRnXp

Not for me. :confused:

#21

Arctucas

CrAsHnBuRnXpNot for me. :confused:

So, did 5.00 install to the same folder as your previous version?

Or, if it installed to a new folder, you are saying your license key and .ini file automatically were imported to the new folder?

EDIT: BETA 1655 is available if anyone is interested.

#22

CrAsHnBuRnXp

It installed in the same folder as 4.60.
