Summary0004337: MM2 to MM3 upgrade improvements
DescriptionSome users mentioned that fresh install of MM3 can't find his old database from MM2. In current implementation MM3 will trying to find MM2 installation folder in registry (in uninstall informations) and if it fails, trying to find MM2 database in his default location (My Music\MediaMonkey). However some users doesn't have database in default location so this part need some improvement.

I've added some improvements :

If MM3 doesn't find location of MM2 (in registry) and MM.MDB isn't in default location, then it checks if there's Songs-DB entry in "HKCU\Software" key (for detection if any previous versions of MM2 was used) if so then it will browse C drive for MediaMonkey.mdb file. I know user can have his old DB elsewhere, but most of the users have it in C drive.
Also i've added command line option "/OLDMM2DB" so user can define location of his old MM2 database (like MediaMonkey.exe /OLDMM2DB "d:\MediaDatabases\MediaMonkey2\MediaMonkey.mdb" ).
