Title: Lightroom 3-2.1 Question
Post by: bobby18301 on August 11, 2010, 04:33:10 pm

Do I have to un-install Lightroom3 before I install 3-2.1 (which I am downloading now)?

I downloaded 3.2 RC yesterday and it installed another copy.
So now I have the original 3.0 and 3.2 RC (release candidate).
So no you do not have to uninstall 3.0
Let me also add that I am running Lightroom on a Macbook Pro.

Thanks. I don't want two copies of the same program so I guess I will uninstall LR3. I suppose if I just waited for the actual release of 2.1 and went: help/check for updates it might just put 2.1 right over the top of LR3.

When 2.1 is actually released, you will get the notification and it should just replace 3.0, but since it is a release candidate(and is pretty stable), it's not officially "released" I would not uninstall 3.0.

It definitely overwrote 3.0 by me. Windows XP.

I believe Mac/Windows are different - separate installs for Mac, overwrite for Win.

Yes, on Macs, after the installation the "old" 3.0 is left on the hard drive.
