Is there some way to make 75 work without uninstalling 74 before downloading 75?
1.) Yes. There is. I have multiple versions running peacefully next to each other. And I strongly advise to first get a new version and then maybe after some testing discard the old version.
a.) Give desktop link to old version 74 unique name like Release74 or 74.
b.) Download the new version.
c.) Install the new version in a new folder with a new name. Say K-Meleon75en-US folder and create that during install. Each K-Meleon needs an unique folder name! If You want more than one install.
d.) Give desktop link to new Version 75 unique name like Release75.
e.) Add parameter to desktop icon to old install: E:\K-Meleon74.0\k-meleon.exe
-new
f.) Add parameter to desktop icon to old install: E:\K-Meleon75.0\k-meleon.exe
-new
g.) Now they both are potentially useable next to each other at the same time. And they can be selectively be started via their desktop icon. I say potentially because each needs an independent profile to do that while the other is running already.
f.) To achieve that all my K-Meleons have an independent profile of their own by using the
portable setup. That gives me a profile in each install folder. Drawback: the profiles are not synchronized. I do not want them synchronized anyway because each is for a special purpose.
To have them synchronised like e.g. siria You use other start procedures and profile location.
g.) Finally. One of the K-Meleons is set to default. I do this using the new installer version. For older versions of Windows You can sometimes e.g. use older setdefault.exe from a then contemporary K-Meleon version.
2.) When all works to Your liking maybe discard the old version.
Or keep it like me as backup or for other purposes.
