I am seriously considering upgrading from Dreamweaver CS3 to CS4 and I would like to know whether extensions working under CS3 are installable in CS4 otherwise my code will, in many cases, not work. Anyone can assist ? Thank you all.

I did an entirely separate install of CS4. When I downloaded it from the site and had to choose a folder to install the files into I actually created a folder in the Adobe folder called 'Adobe Dreamweaver CS4'.

I don't know about extension compatibility but this process did create a second extensions folder so my version of CS3 was not affected AT ALL. I could then import my extensions from CS3 and in the manager you can choose to activate or deactivate them if they are causing you problems.

I haven't uninstalled either version so I don't know but I imagine one wouldn't affect the other as they are completely separate instances. As far as settings because I didn't overwrite a previous version I didn't get any of my settings for CS3 with CS4.

On a side note my testing of my extension for CS4 went fabulous!

That will vary from extension to extension. You'll have to contact each
vendor to see if their product will work in CS$

Many thanks for your assistance. I realize that each vendor shall have to tell whether there is compatibility or not but most of my extensions, say 80%, have been downloaded from old Macromedia Exchange and these are the ones which make me worry. On the other hand can I have CS3 and CS4 running from C ? The problem is that the public website I manage (relative to trekking and backpacking) has some 600 pages and due to very specific content problems I have been unable to use templates. Thanks very much. I am afraid that I shall have to stick to CS3 .......

I currently have both CS3 and CS4 on my machine for the very same reason to test extension compatibility. I just installed them into separate directories.
