Should we remove old versions of RB?

edited July 2009 in General
I just had another look in the control panel Add/Remove programs and can see
7 different versions of Rb back from the old D7 days,
A) Should I uninstall these other versions (As all projects get recompiled
with the latest anyway)
B) Will they free up any space on the drive

We are running Delphi Rad Studio 2007, RB 11.05 Patch 2 (when it finally
downloads...4hrs and counting)

Thanks....

Best regards
Colin

    Hi Colin,

    A) These are empty entries. There is code in the install scripts to remove
    these from the registry however apparently it is not functioning correctly.
    I will research this for the next release. If you would like, you can
    manually uninstall ReportBuilder and then remove these entries from the list
    by uninstalling them, however it is not necessary.

    B) No extra disk space is taken by leaving them.

    OK Found it,

    the old versions in Vista dont seem to clean up from the add remove list. if
    i went into change(right click on item) then it says its already uninstalled
    do u want me to remove the control panel item, the only item it didnt do
    this for was Version 11.05 (this is the current Version)....

    Sorry to trouble you.

    Colin
