Did anyone else have a problem deleting the older version? I now have two live search options the old one and the new one.

If your phone came with or you have installed a ROM that includes Microsoft Live Search, the application is probably in the Windows directory and part of the read-only ROM image. The installer from Microsoft is going to install to \Program Files\Live Search directory.

Just ensure that both links point to the \Program Files\Live Search path or you can delete the shortcut that launches the old version of Live Search.

But is there a way to uninstall the old one, so there is only the new one and not the old one on my phone?

That depends. The list of applications that can be uninstalled is available in:

Settings -> System -> Remove Programs

If the old version does not appear in this list, then it can most likely not be uninstalled.

I have a HTC sprint Touch running Manilla 2d and windows 6.1. Since i installed manilla 2d not all of my programs are included in the "remove programs list". I solved the problem of two live search icons by doing what i mentioned before "I solved the problem by going to file explore>windows>start menu>programs than delete ms live search" From this point you can reinstall the new version and you'll have only one icon. IT WORKED FOR ME! when your done thanks would be nice.

You can't remove anything that is baked into the ROM. Sorry but your only option is to delete the start menu entry, as mentioned.

Anyway, I received the popup to update... nothing terribly noticeable other than the fast start time. *shrugs*

Let's see...

1) defitly faster load time
2) uses a little less memory when running
3) new menu item under the veiw options when you are in maps "show lat/lon"
4) still shows the same theaters for me

It's a keeper!

I like it. Used it on a road trip monday and it works great. The maps center on gps function is good for not getting lost out in the boonies of SW Louisiana! LOL!
