Installation
Before installing Guitar Pro:
If you had installed a demo version of Guitar Pro before purchasing the complete version, we advise you to uninstall the
demo version by using the Start > All Programs > Guitar Pro 5 Demo > Uninstall Guitar Pro 5 Demo menu.
If you have purchased an updated version of Guitar Pro (from the v4 for example), it is not necessary to install the
previous version to install Guitar Pro 5. Also, version 5 is able to open every file created using a previous version, so you
may want to uninstall the previous version.
