Re: st: Installing v10, then v9

Dear all,
May seem like a strange request but is anyone aware of
known disadvantages to installing v9 on a desktop
where v10 is already installed?
I know installing v10 after v9 causes no problem, I'm
worried that a v9 install when v10 is there might
cause some files to be replaced with an older version,
etc.
Many thanks for any views.

When you click on a .dta or other Stata file, Stata 9 may start
rather than Stata 10. If so, you can change the file associations.
Whether you are using Stata 9 or 10, the user-written programs you
install will go to c:\ado by default (at least in
Windows). Sometimes user-written routines have different versions
for different versions of Stata, e.g. Long and Freese have a couple
of flavors of -spost- and Roger Newson also kindly provides both new
and old versions of his programs at
http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata.htm. You could
conceivably get into a situation where you have a version 10 program
installed and it won't work when you are using Stata 9 (whereas the
Stata 9 version of the program would have worked). If that was a
major issue, you could probably clone and rename programs, or set up
different directories for Stata 9 and 10.
