I have multiple installs of SoftPlan V2016 and V2018 installed on my computer.

I would like to uninstall V2016 but am afraid it will change V2018.

I say this because when I had V2016 installed on my computer and I uninstalled V2014 it messed up V2016 and I had one heck of of time making everything right again. One example is I lost all my text in V2016.

 

This may sound stupid but any thoughts out there?

I've always had multiple installs ... At one point I had at 3 (if not 4) different versions running concurrently. I've never had an issue with uninstalling a version - That doesn't mean you won't though!

I don't remember if SoftPlan used to ask whether you wanted to do a clean install or upgrade when installing new versions. I tend to just leave all versions on my computer until I get a new one or reformat and start fresh.

Deleting could effect the registry so tread carefully.  Maybe for starters, rename the old SoftPlan directory to something different, if no errors occur then you know your current release doesn't rely on anything from an older one.
