Now select the option “Remove Laserworld Showeditor” with a mouse click on the
respective radio button. After confirmation via a click on “Finish”, the old program
will be removed. The *.ini-file remains in the Windows folder (operating system folder).
Thus all settings will be conserved (serial number, hardware setup etc.).
Now the “update” can be carried out like a new installation. In the case of major
installation issues, the old program folder and possibly the *.ini file should be removed
prior to the new installation. This usually helps with fixing issues, however standard
settings get lost hen deleting the *.ini file.
An exact location where the *.ini file is stored cannot be given, because since
Windows 7 the location is dependent on the settings of the operating system. Thus
the option to delete the old *.ini file via the program is added under Options →
Reset. To determine the location of the file use Options → Others → Button “Show
Software Paths”. Normally it is not necessary to remove the *.ini file(s), except
problems at software start-up or major installation issues occur.
Different Versions of Laserworld Showeditor on one PC 2.3.
On the same PC different versions of Laserworld Showeditor can be installed at the
same time. That is not given for the smaller bug-fixes, but applies to the major
releases, like Showeditor 2011 and Showeditor 2015.
Each version has its own *.ini-file. This *.ini-file can be copied from one version to
another, but it is not recommended due to potential incompatibilities.
