I found an older version already installed on my PC, still 5.something. So within the program I told it to check for updates, and then to install the 5.0.7242.24545 version it found. It tried to install to a folder I didn’t want (C:\Program Files\Engelmann\Simply Good Pictures 5 Free” or something close to that), so I clicked the Options button which let me pick a new folder.
Something I’ve never seen before, it would not let me select the folder where the older version was installed, said it could only install to an empty folder. VERY lazy developers that can’t overwrite their own files, and force a user to create an empty folder (or empty an existing one, like I did). Who knows what happened in the Registry or any of the other many places it put files. If the programmers are that lazy, I don’t expect much from the program itself. I’m hoping their Master Programmer wrote the program, and an intern / apprentice programmer wrote the installer, but it makes the whole thing seem Simply Not So Good.
After install, the About box says it’s the “Full Version”, I did not need to enter a license code. Sorry, after all that I don’t feel like even trying the program today…. I do appreciate being able to upgrade within the same major version, so a big plus for Engelmann on that.
