I have a family tree program which I want to copy onto to a CD, but need to change the program name - how do I do this - where do I find program to change. Sorry a bit dim on this subject. Lin

Hi Alan What I need to do is change Legacy5Setup.exe to LegacySetup.exe so that when I copy onto CD I can use ths CD on other computers. Sorry I did not make myself clear :) Lin

No I tried it this morning on my work computer, So I went onto the FAQ on Legacy at it states to use on other computers copy onto CD but before coping change program name.

Hi Alan sorry for the late reply - no I cannot find the file - There is the Legacy programme but it consists of about a hundred and one files not the one ultimate programme. I have successfully copied it onto a CD when I enter information on the hard drive and update sending the update to hard drive and then to CD. But when I go to use the CD on another computer it can't read it. Lin

Lin The Legacy5setup.exe is the installation program for the Legacy software. It contains all of the files that you now see on your PC, but in a compressed format. When you 'run' this file for the first time it installs, sets up, the software for use. When the program is installed, files may be placed in various folders within your C drive and therefore you cannot hope to find all of these and copy them into the correct places on another computer. You need to find the Legacy5setup.exe and copy that file to a new computer, or download a new copy. If you need to change the file name just right click on the file, in Windows Explorer, select Rename, and away you go. Once on the new computer just run the Legacy5setup.exe, or whatever you have renamed it to. Paul PS: Dont change the .exe bit (the file extension).

thanks chaps for all your replies - will have a few sherbuts and go for it - an expeditions into the darkest corners of my computer ttfn Lin
