I agree: Intuit has always discouraged users from having
multiple versions installed at the same time. Starting with
Q2006, they got a bit more forceful about it by making the
default that the older version would get deleted.
[Interestingly, starting with Q2006, Quicken has a better method
for avoiding conflicts between different versions ... though
it's main purpose was probably to avoid conflicts between
multiple files for the same version.]
And as I said, you can still reinstall your older version, and
have both the new and the old installed at the same time (though
if do, you may still experience some minor difficulties with the
version that was not the last one installed).
