Used MS FrontPage 20+ years ago now I'm lost

Post by tylerje »

I'm finally going to try to create a website
Which file do I use to upgrade from WYSIWG 17.3.1 to 18.0.1 the one below or the one for advanced users? Also, should I uninstall WYSIWG 17.3.1 so I don't have two versions of WYSIWG installed on my 64bit PC? I haven't created any website with WYSIWG 17.3.1

1. Download the latest version here:
https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/download.html
2. If you already have version 18.x you can install it in the same location as the previous version.

Advanced users can also download the updated files only here (no installer):
32bit: https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/wb18update.zip
64bit: https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/wb18x64update.zip

Neither, WYSIWYG Web Builder 18.0.1 is a completely "New" version of its own and requires its own licence to use.

If you are still using WB17 (Licenced) you can still download it from the following this includes the 32bit and 64bit

To purchase WB18 see the following information including a discount to upgrade from previous versions

Hello - do you recommend that I uninstall both versions 17 and 18 and then reinstall just version 18.0.1 so I won't have both versions on my computer? I assume that version 18.0.1 is a standalone installation since version 18 wasn't an upgrade and I assume it doesn't need version 17. I don't want to fill my computer with the software I no longer need. Thank you

You can have both on the same computer.
If you previously used WWB17 then i recommend to keep it for a few days (or weeks) just in case something works different
Then you can always compare the settings.

As Pablos reply having both versions installed will take little or minimal space and resources. If you only require WB18 then it Is safe to uninstall WB17 and any other previous versions. Note to be able to use WB18 you are required to a valid licence for it as all previous licences are only for that version installed.

Thanks for the help, I'll keep both installed for now. I do have a license for Version 18.0.1. :D
