By config files you mean any dash pages/maps/calcpids we have created...?
No, we want to keep those.

I agree, the My docs folder should not be touched after the initial install.
And to implement that, the folders:
\My Documents\EFILive\V7.5\User Configuration and \My Documents\EFILive\V7.5\VDash are flagged as: "Never overwrite" and "Never uninstall".
Unfortunately, I did not flag those folders correctly in the previous June 12 installation. So those folders will get overwritten this time only. Once the June 22 install is in place those folders will be flagged as "Never overwrite" and "Never uninstall" which will prevent future installers from messing with them.
However, that causes problems when a user want to uninstall EFILive completely. Those two folders are left lying around on the hard drive - I don't like that. The same goes for the EFILive registry settings which are left in the registry.
So the two questions will be posed during the uninstall: Delete user files? and Delete registry? Along with recommendations of whether to select "yes" or "No".
In version 8 there will be no files installed into "My Documents" and there will be no registry settings either (those were two mistakes I made when designing the V7 installation). The user will be free to put their data files wherever they want. All settings are stored in *.ini files in the V8 "Program Files" folder.

"Config files" in this context means ALL files in all folders in "My Documents\EFIlive\V7.5", except for Bins and Logged Data.Originally Posted by joecar
So if the user selects "Yes" to delete config files during the unintsall process, then the uninstaller will deliberately delete all folders and their contents except for Bins and Logged Data.
If the user selects "No", then ONLY files that were installed previously will be uninstalled (including installed files that have been modified by the user). With the exception of User Config and VDash. No files in those folders will be uninstalled or overwritten. That will preserve dashboard changes and other various config file changes that the user may have made.
Any files added by the user in any of those folders will not be touched.

Cool...
In the VDash folder, will it distinguish between user created dashes and EFILive supplied dashes (e.g. the various default pages).
so should i save the everything as v7.5.4_old this time or not? i have not made any changes to dashboard but i don't want to risk losing any of the native config files right?
I just used the auto update and had no problems.
I updated the Flash Scan and lost the drivers, I had to uninstall and reinstall the driver even though Vista said the device was installed and working correctly.
Every thing is working fine now.
why did some files get over written and others not?
last update my dash pages, splash screens and an image
were deleted, they did not this time.
this time my license, pids and filters got whacked.
i am curious as to why not all or nothing be over written.
i`m not trying to
just curious.
BTW
i went on a 2 hour jaunt with the RR in OLSD
and noticed zero problems.

Firmware.........
Hey Paul.... I keep noticing people referring to the latest firmware as version V2.05.17
But, I've had connectivity issues with this one and now, I'm noticing that you have dates in () after it......
Right now, I'm using V2.05.17(0512) but I see references to the same firmware as for instance (0622)....Is this a newer version I need???
It was previously in the EFI LIVE folder but, where is it now with the new download installer deal????
Notice the new animated banner below with the EFI LIVE logo in it????ok, So I just asked this question and now I've found the answer...So, I'll leave the question for anyone having the problems I did.... The (0622) version of the firmware is located in c/program files/efi live/v8..... I found it a sec ago and was able to program the new firmware with efi live EXPLORER with no problems..... I'll be testing it in the morning!!!

yes.
this is the reason i took the plunge with BBL.
it has had a few frustrating moments,
like that funky firmware that you could not connect to the V2 with.
but the serial WBO2 is awesome.
also now the RR is selectable in how logged data is applied.(also very cool)
before all data was multiplied, now it can be added, subtracted and divided as well.
LOL i have yet to try the BBL option.
