Hello, I have a trubles installing and uninstalling:

If uninstall Acid 5 and NOT delete the folder path and install Acid 6 in a new folder path there aren't troubles
..now..
If uninstall Acid 5 and YES delete the folder path and install Acid 6 in a new folder path there are troubles

The trouble is at time to delete the folder path when was installed Acid 5, the mp3, ac3 and mpg1-2 plug-in NOT WORK with any another aplication and they aren't present when I want to SAVE or OPEN a file with the mentioned plug-ins.

If I deleted the old folder is because I want save space in the hard disk.

Some oppionon about this, please.
Thanks!

That’s because this is the way you SHOULD be doing it. DO NOT go deleting any folders that the uninstall program left. These are common DirectX components that are registered with the Windows Operating System. If you delete them, they are still registered and so ACID 6 thinks they are there when they are not. This is why ACID 6 is broken if you delete them first.

Just uninstall ACID 5 and install ACID 6 and you will be fine. ACID 6 will not install duplicates of the common components. It will just update the ones that are there if needed.

What if I want to have both V5 and V6 present? Might be a good idea while I get used to the new features?

V4, V5 and V6 can all be installed at the same time.
That's what I have done.
