Multiple versions of macro scheduler

Post by bnc1 » Fri Nov 18, 2005 6:57 pm

Is there a technique for installing and maintaining two separate versions of macro scheduler? I would like to to have separate versions and macros , ie v7.4 and Beta 8.0. I tried installing Beta 8.0 in a separate folder, but it seems like the macros I was using were somehow shared. I couldnt keep the v7.4 and Beta 8 macros separated even though they were in different folders. Once Beta 8 was installed both versions used the Beta 8 macros (sounds like a registry thing perhaps ?)

It depends how you installed them. If you specified a data folder for any of the installations you will have shared data. When installing ALL instances you need to leave the data folder blank so that they all use their own program folders. That way they will have separate macros.

Ok thanks for that tip. The trick was NOT to use separate data folders just as the install instructions say.

:D :D :D
