Moving from desktop WinXP Home x32 (9 yrs old) to notebook Win7 Pro X64. Original installation in 2005. I've been using A5v7 strictly as a flat-file db program, with a couple of very simple, basic queries/reports. The .dbf is 20MB. I don't need/use all the advanced features.
I have my original installation files, license key, plus the following four patches:
a5v7_full_Patch_4130-3033.exe 08/31/2006 21,320,786
a5v7_full_Patch.exe 06/28/2006 21,152,006 (didn't note the patch #, obviously)
a5v7_full_Patch_v3960-3018.exe 03/21/2006 18,260,294
a5v7_full_Patch_v4035_3028.exe 05/16/2006 18,536,195
Will I need to install all the patches in order? Or just the original plus the last patch?
I know there have been some installation issues, but I'm not creating any runtimes or linked dbs or any of the other stuff I don't understand <g>. The .dbf was originally created in the MS-DOS database app Q&A, then into Approach for use in Win95, later XP; the approach conversion turned it into more of a spreadsheet than a .dbf. All of which is probably irrelevant, except it demonstrates my lack of knowledge. Basically, I hammered Alpha5 into submission, making it a flat-file db program.
Anyway, based on what I've read elsewhere, I intend to install into a partition other than C: (F:\Programs\Alpha5).
I'm hoping my only issue here is which patches to install: just the last one, or all?
Thanks in advance,
George
