OK to remove old versions?
Windows XP shows that in addition to 3.7.7, I also have Capture one 3.7.4, 3.7.5, and 3.7.6 installed. Can I just remove them with Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs?

While there are multiple entires, in the Add/Remove list, there is actually only one copy of Capture One on your computer. Removing any one of those will uninstall all, and prevent the current version from working. So it is best not to touch them. 0 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If it bugs you that you see 3.7.4 and 3.7.5 in the add/remove programs you can manually remove the 3.7.4 by doing the following.
Click Start , click Run , type regedit in the Open box, and then press ENTER.
Locate and click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall
After you click the Uninstall registry key, click Export Registry File on the Registry menu.
In the Export Registry File dialog box, click Desktop in the Save in box, type uninstall in the File name box, and then click Save .
Each key under Uninstall represents a program that appears in Add/Remove Programs. To determine which program that each key represents, click the key, and then view the following values:
DisplayName - the value data for the DisplayName key is the name that is listed in Add/Remove Programs
-and-
UninstallString - the value data for the UninstallString key is the program that is used to uninstall the program
After you identify the registry key that represents the program that is still in Add/Remove Programs, right-click the key, and then click Delete .
After you delete the key, click Start , point to Settings , and then click Control Panel .
In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs .
In Add/Remove Programs, verify that the program for which you deleted the registry key is not listed.
If the program list is not correct in Add/Remove Programs, you can double-click the Uninstall.reg file on your desktop to restore the original list of programs in the registry.
If the program list is correct in Add/Remove Programs, you can right-click the Uninstall.reg file on your desktop, and then click Delete .

Ah, okay, as long as I don't actually have four copies, each individually chewing up 4 to 5GB of HD space.
Couldn't the upgrades be written to delete the out of date entries? I've gone through plenty of upgrade cycles on plenty of programs and almost all clean up previous version residue.
Thanks, all!0
