No guts no glory........

So who did the side by side install

and who overwrote X2 (like me) ??

 

I have yet to come across any problems.

This of course is one of the first of probably

12-15 workstations.

 

Ive personally never been a fan of side by side

installs. Just my personal preference

 

 

PEACE

I overwrite. I don't like having multiple installs on my workstation.

 

No problems to speak of yet.

Ive done a side by side and have pulled me hair out ever since.

I did a side by side no problems yet.

Overwrite- Had a few problems with external chooks like verisurf, machsim, etc. Got the updated versions and it's runnin smooth now. I backed up my config files, etc., in case I had to re vert but it's looking good. I never have liked having side by side installs, either. Seems like it never runs right until you get the old version uninstalled.

I done side by side in my office and the Mill PC out on the floor. No problems with my workstation, but the mill pc out on the shop floor is about to pi$$ me off!!!

I think I will do standalone install when I do the lathe and wire edm workstations. I am also going to do an uninstall-reinstall on the mill station.

Did a side by side on both systems here. No issues yet...

Straight up overwrite, I aint scared.

At work I HAVE to keep multiple because of support issues.

 

At home I only kept the last one because of customers who won't update on a dime like I do.

[mike.b]

side by side. only used it for a couple hours at work today with no problems

If you have moldplus, translators, etc. its best to do a side by side so you have access to these things until updates come out, so thats what I usually do. I would assume there should be less problems with a fresh install over an upgrade anyway.

Side by side. I like to keep my options open.

Stand alone at home

Side by Side at Work.. because I've got 20-30 posts/machine defs to bring into X3.. I'm doing a

3 or 4 a day as time allows

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

I have to do a side by side because right now I have a turn0key project going and our Contract Programmer does not have X3 yet... the second he does t hough... X2... buh bye! You were good but X3 is better.

Side by side now until I get a chance to be sure my personal libraries and such are updated.
