VLC 2.0 Install Question

Postby Mike89 » 27 Feb 2012 00:30

I am currently using VLC 1.1 (Windows 7 x64). If installing VLC 2.0, does it install over the top of 1.1 keeping all settings (including skins) or does it require 1.1 be un-installed first? I see nothing on the VideoLan website that addresses this question (which I think it should).

I'll answer my own question. I installed VLC 2.0 and during the install there was a message saying I had VLC already installed and it asked if I want to un-install the previous version. I clicked no and I installed VLC 2.0 over VLC 1.1. No problems thereafter.
