Installing Family album

Hi all,

Just wanted to thank everyone who helped me out last week with my 
installation problems. Turned out that you can easily install the new 
version over the old one- but I'd forgotten about the install bug (never 
heard about it from anyone else, BTW). If you do a full install the first 
time you get a cryptic 'file missing' error message, so it's a CD install 
first, then a full install. Works fine, got everything (including the TT, 
but excluding the S3) up until MY2k. Price updates are a little trickier- I 
was given the latest price update disk, but got another 'file missing' 
error, until I installed the older prices (Nov. '98). It works now, but 
there are no prices for items introduced after 11/98. This is a bit of a 
drag, so I'll see if I can find a newer update disk. Looks like they 
changed the format of the disks.

There's little else to differentiate the two versions (I think my previous 
version was 5.3, this one's 5.41.1). Unfortunately, the feature which lets 
you look up a part number and reports which cars it fits is not in this 
version yet. Otherwise, it works fine. The Dutch translation is still 
riddled with German half-translations and typos, nothing much changed there.

Wish I could get a copy of ELSA... (electronic workshop manual)

Tom
