Are all of the Paratext 8 instances required? Can I uninstall all but the latest installed(8.0.63 as of this posting)?

Answer 1

The “Paratext 8 Packages” is a part of your 8.0.63 installation. The other two entries should be able to be removed. anon291708’s answer is correct - this happens from installing a new P8 version without uninstalling the previous one.

Answer 2

This happens if the previous version is not uninstalled. For automatic updates, the previous version is automatically uninstalled whenever a new base version (ending in .1) is installed. However, because of the way Paratext installs, this needs to happen manually if you install a new base version manually.

Answer 4

Several people have encountered the situation where after uninstalling one version the other versions can not be uninstalled. One recommendation is that you use RevoUninstaller to remove the other versions.
