The GUI is the same... I guess, the Shredder 7 installation has put it's games
over your F8 installation, in the same directory (i.e.
..\ChessProgram8\ChessProgram8.exe).

Which is a very good thing, because you don't need the same thing twice to waste
harddisk space :-) The F8 engine files should have been kept. You can choose
between the engines via F3, as usual.

You can choose how the GUI "identifies" from the menu under "Extras/Options,
Version". That controls which benchmark values will be calculated, and other
lesser important things (like the window bar text).

Btw. that question appeared so often in CCC and other message boards...
www.chessbase.com should really put that on top of a FAQ page, with a big red
button link to it on the front page :-)) It's a bit anti intuitive for people
which are no insiders of the ChessBase program components. For example, a Fritz
*7* installation would not have been affected by Shredder 7, because this was
prior to the new GUI.8 version...
