[RESOLVED] PBX Updating Version - Multiple Versions in Windows Apps & Features

[jimmay3]

From PBX Manual "Upgrading your current PBX installation is an easy process. It is simply a matter of downloading the latest pinballxsetupxxx.exe and running it like you did for the new install. The PinballX installation will just update the core files for PinballX and leave all your images/videos/configurations as is."

I've always just installed over the old and never had this happen, but on the last recent update, I noticed both new and old versions in the windows apps section?  I always just use 32 bit version, something new?  Was I supposed to remove old version?

I uninstalled both and then installed latest, all seems good except my nagging menu vol issue, but that may just be a few table audio files need replaced.

I think your issue happen with the change from pinballx .net 4 to  .net core edition.

The old .net4 has his unique app guid and will be showed in the add remove programs dialog.

When Tom introduced .net core version,  the app gets a new  app guid. The old app version of PBX was renamed to pinballx xp/vista (and supports 32 bit and 64) and the new version just called pinballx (and only supports 64bit operating system). 

Technicly 2 different installers, but the install files can be on the same location.

I only had the issue that my pinball fx3.xml file was overwritten by the installation as the installer was run for the first time and put the default xml for fx3 over my own created file.

Im glad you found a solution/workaround and only left you an issue with pf music issues.

I'm glad that you read the manual. Maybe a note should be added what could happen when switching from the 2 different versions
