Post by keydog »

looking to update my computer, I have been using wb11 for a long time and have no issues with my site
if I update to win 10 and use wb 16 will there be issues
the reason I havent updated as of yet was because i dont want to spend days correcting issues on old site
let me know

thanks

already see there is an issue maybe, what is flv player extention

went to use trial version software on win 10 comp and it will not open the project file

do I have to redo whole sites now?

No there should be no issues.

This is not a issue extensions cannot be used in the trial version they are only for licensed version.

Yes it will run without issues. Please also note WB11 is no longer supported anymore.

yeah I just saw that (no support for wb11)

I hope they are all still available

You can check the availability in the extension manager.

one more question please
I would like to put my wb11 software and all files on a second drive so I dont lose what I have when I upgrade to win 10 then to wb17
since I can not download wb 11 anymore can I just take the wb folder from my documents and copy to my second drive and still run it from the second drive till I get all update on main drive
does this sound right or should I copy the wb program from the windows program folder

looks like im going to have to change a few of the extensions , I dont see them any longer in the extension manager so this will probably take me some time

sorry if this is basic to you, I havent done too much with this stuff for a long while

Re: looking to use new version with old version site

Post by keydog »

is there a way to find what page an extension was used on
trying to open wb on a external drive and it is telling me it can not open the project because an extension is not installed "responsive drop down menu"
I dont remember using this extension and cant find it on any page of this project
so far this is the only project file I havent been able to get to open off of a secondary drive
kind of stuck, please help

Didn't see this mentioned yet - are you going from 32bit to 64bit WWB? I don't think 32bit extensions work in the 64bit version.

@bkjohns it would be 32bit of the software released in 2016 as the 64bit hadn't been released till 2017 see the following urls
WB11

@keydog bkjohns was referring to the version of WB see my reply to him. Also note WB7 may not be compatible with Windows 10 (I stand to be corrected).

I don't know if I should reply but all that had to be done was update wb software and was able to just move the wb folder to new computer
this update with wb worked with no issues with sites
maybe this will help someone else
