Nothing is smoked, you just need to OPEN your old database
using 
        File->Open database.
Keep in mind that if you run new install 
        and select different directory
than you had, you are creating 
        INDEPENDENT instalation, that
has its own formulas, own layouts, own 
        preferences setting, own default directory
and so on and so 
        on.
You can use OLD installation (if you create shortcut to it) 
        and NEW installation.
There do NOT share files.
As for Premium 
        Data - it is probably NOT aware of possibility of having 2 seprate 
        installs
and integration scripts assume only one. But this is not 
        AmiBroker problem.
You should NOT run any 3rd party "integration" 
        scripts. 
Instead just OPEN old database File->Open Database 
        (pointing to old location)
and data will be there.
Best 
        regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
