Title: Install DR 1.7 directly over 1.6.3
Post by BobBailey on Jun 14^th, 2017, 2:41pm

I'm running an old version: 1.6.3.
I do have the data file: ...ApplicationData\DesktopSaveRestore\*.dtr

Can I install 1.7 directly?
Will the existing .dtr files work with the latest version?
I have a 64-bit machine.

Downloading only includes an .exe so there are no release notes.

Thanks... Bob

A partial answer to my own question: 1.7 can be installed directly over 1.6.3 in win 10. I had no problems installing or using it.

You DO need to restart to refresh the settings in the registry.

The .exe contains the installer and also places a "read me" (DR Readme.rtf) in the installed folder. Typically: "C:\Program Files\Desktop Restore\DR Readme.rtf".
