Hi all:

Has anyone able to install Dev Studio 8.1.5 with Dev Studio 7.6.11? We are migrating to 8.1 and would like to keep both Dev Studios on the Developers machines, but It seems when I install DS 8.1.5, DS 7.6.11 does not work (does not even come up)..and vice versa.. ONLY ONE dev studio works. I have tried running this focibi.bat files.. still same issue.. and Run as Admin
App Studio 8.1.5 works with Old Dev Studio 7.6.11 (may be IBI does not want us to use Dev Studio 8.1.5)
Opened up a case and have not heard anything from IBI..

Thanks

I would not suggest it.

I have seen methods to do this, but we have always had issues here.

Note: we are using App Studio not Dev studio.

We set up separate VMs with 8. The versions share the IE cache, so they step on each other. There are ways around it, but it involves some file manipulations each time you switch back and forth between versions and only one version can be running at a time.

Thank You Waz.. It works fine with App Studio (no need to run any bat files ) as they have kept it separate in Registry but not for Dev Studio 8.1.5.

Thanks

Keep in mind that if you do this, you will need to run the batch file thisfoci.bat when swapping from 7 to 8 to 7.

Also we have had issue when trying to do this, with parts of app studio, usually in html composer.
