Yes. I really don't know why this little feature is not implemented. For me as PC-Technician it is obvious. But for someone without experience there is just no hint. I have people that buy the box version because they want to have the manual in print and they read it and installed the 2009 version in addition to their already installed version (kis7 etc.) because there was no mention of deinstalling the previous version before upgrading.
and the program itself just installs... without any concern.
what you get is a faulty installation, no internet, and a person that needs a pc-technician. i don't think that this person is eager to buy again after paying for the program AND the technician.

i am arguing all of this just because to make the point that this is an important feature.

Ok.
i deinstall previous versions as a standard. so i forgot that window and that there is mention of KIS software.
i think that person once again just clicked "next" without reading.

so please just delete this thread. issue solved
thank you
