Do we install v5 in the same folder a v4.3 after renaming the v4.3 exec file?

Thank you cstoll, I know I've been a lil rough on you guys lately and a bit (a lot) negative, however, i really want to make some good attempts at making VDJ flawless for me. Let me apologize publicly for any quick remarks about VDJ in the past.

1) On one lappy I have v3.4; where do I put the v5.0 w/o messing up?
2) On the other lappy i have 3.4 in virtualdj folder and 4.3 in a virtualdj4.3 folder;,
where would i install v5.0 w/o messing things up on that one?
3) If I end up deleting 3.4 and i use registry remove from the vdjtools
will that only remove the 3.4 somehow and not the 4.3 or 5.0?

From what I read to not have issues you need to update the ones with 3.4 to 4.3 and once that is all good go ahead and upgrade to 5.0. Does that help a little :)
Ok after you install 4.3 copy the virtualdj folder and change it to virtualdj_4.3 then install 5.0. Then you have both 4.3 and 5.0 on the same system.

No need to copy the folder - in the Program Files\\VirtualDJ folder - just rename the virtualdj.exe to virtualdj_4.exe (or something you like) then install v5.

I thought that if you install 3.4 and 4.3 to the same folder there will be some registry conflicts.
Doesn't 4.3 need to be installed at the beginning to another named folder?

I was responding to this statement... but No you should not have problems. In any case, you would want to make a backup of your 3.4 DB, upgrade to 4 and run VDJ 1 time so the database gets upgraded to v4. Then make a copy of that DB and then upgrade to 5. If you want before each upgrade rename the virtualdj.exe to another name.

Okay, I getcha cstoll, thanks again for your clarity. However, I was thinking about my situation where I ran 3.4 AND 4.3 on the same computer but those two needed to be in different folders so the registry would recognize them as separate entities. Am I correct there?
Then when I get ready to install 5.0 in addition to keeping 4.3 and 3.4, wouldn't I have to install 5.0 in the same folder that 4.3 is now?
My 3.4 is already named vdj3.4.exe and my 4.3 is already named vdj4.3.exe. Please verify further, if you may.
Eventually on this one lappy, it will all be 5.0 I'm sure.
