Problem upgrading to ACT 2104 V16

[TheHawkGuy]

Long time user of ACT 6 and keeps telling me to delete other version and try again.  I have uninstalled, rebooted and still get the same message.  I've run defrag, deleted all files of older version except my DBF file.  What more can I do?  This is frustrating.

Hey Hawk Guy,

Will try to help?

If you have a specific error msg, please list it in your post.

Note: You should be able to have act6 and the newer versions of sql act installed together.?

But do not have both running at same time. Need plenty of RAM.

A few months ago, I had actv16 installed , then installed act6, then opened  my older act6 db with actv16?

I think that is how it went. I also recently read in post that someone had to use act2012 to update from their actv6?

This is what I would prob check next to insure things are current.;

If using actv16 pro - check Help / About to iinsure you are on hotfix5
