OCC5.0 has been released for some time. How do you feel OCC5.0 comparing with the OCC4.0?

So far, I am very happy. There were some initial
install growing pains, but the rebuild to my
compiler went easier than ever. I also love the
new boolean operations. They have fixed all my
problems.
Did you unistall OCC4.0 and then install OCC5.0?
Any details for the initial install growing pain are appreciated for the people who are going to install like me, thanks!
I installed on win32 and Solaris 2.6. The Win32
install went without a hitch. The Solaris
install had some problems (that were fixed by
the bugmaster and integrated into the
distribution). After installing, I needed to
recompile the Solaris version for GNU C++ 2.95.3.
After some basic massaging of the admin files
(*.comp, *.lnk, and init), the rebuild went
very well. The Solaris install and build took
a total of 3 days while version 4.0 took 3 weeks.
I don't know if you absolutely have to, but the
docs said to do so and that's what I did. I
would imagine, you don't have to, just keep in
mind that the install will set your environment
variables for 5.0.

Thanks Rob, do we have to uninstall OCC4.0 on Win32?
