MAT2 and MAT2-MD use different installation folders but the same Registry branch.

If you install MAT2-MD and then MAT2, your logos must go in
C:\Program Files\SereneScreen\Marine Aquarium Time 2\

If you install MAT2 and then MAT2-MD, your logos must go in
C:\Program Files\SereneScreen\Marine Aquarium Time 2 MD\

It's whichever program wrote to the registry last. Also to add frustration, each installer wipes the relevant Registry branch including keycode and other settings.


So even though they set these 2 versions up to use 2 different folders, it is not obvious how to make them coexist peacefully.

I guess I need to update my instructions and Logo Packs to deal with this situation. Basically, I will say that you cannot use both versions on the same machine at the same time.

Since the Freshwater Aquarium might some day also have a crystal, I think that a pre-emptive step would have been to use

C:\Program Files\SereneScreen\Shared Logos\

across the board.
