What method should I choose for installing Mastercam X2?
When installing Mastercam X2, the installation will scan the computer
for Mastercam X MR2. If it is present, the following dialog appears,
prompting you to either replace Mastercam X MR2, or install Mastercam
X2 side-by-side with Mastercam X MR2:
If you choose to Replace Previous Version, the installation
will uninstall Mastercam X MR2:
Any customized file types, such as *.mcx, *.kmp, *.mtb, *.mmd,
*.control, *.pst, and so on, are left in the Mastercam X MR2 installation
directory. If you install Mastercam X2 in the same directory where
Mastercam X MR2 previously existed, these customized files will
not be overwritten. Mastercam X2 will then be installed to the directory
you specify.
If you choose to Leave Previous Version, instead of replacing
your prior version of Mastercam X, Mastercam X2 is installed to
a separate installation location on your local hard drive. The default
is \mcamx2\. However, you can change it and install Mastercam
X2 to any directory other than that of a previous version of Mastercam
X. If the Mastercam X MR2 directory is selected accidentally, the
following warning message appears, preventing Mastercam X2 from
overwriting the previous version:
When the Mastercam X2 installation is complete, the Migration Utility
prompts you to choose whether to migrate your customized files,
or use the Mastercam X2 defaults.
If you choose Yes, the Migration Utility imports all of
your customized files from Mastercam X MR2 into Mastercam X2. Files
from any version of Mastercam other than Mastercam X MR2 CANNOT
be migrated into Mastercam X2.
