When selecting the profiles directory name at install time, the profiles directory should not be shared between 77x and 76x servers if the site uses custom user privileges on the 76x server, plans to use custom user privileges on the 77x server, and plans to keep the 76x server running because changing a privilege (for any user) will cause the file to get rewritten in a new 77x format which is incompatible with a 76x server. If changes in privileges are expected after the 77x installation, the files in the 76x profiles directory can be simply duplicated to the new 77x location to seed the 77x location before the initial server start up.

Sites that have chosen to upgrade a 76x server to 77x, should also use the Web Console to edit and adjust the workspace manager name (used for the Web Console banner) in the Workspace configuration file to reflect the 77 release level.
