3.6/4.0 Side-by-Side Installation

[GraemeR]

Hi Guys,

Another possibility.

Install EA 3.60 and EA 4.00 on seperate machines and make the license files readable by everyone.

Create shortcuts to the executables and put the shortcuts on everyones desktops.

Share the drives that the installations are on.

Users can then use the applications via the shortcuts. The binaries run on their own machines, not the servers.

You can control the distribution of the shortcuts so that only those who need the 4.00 version can get it.

You can also connect to the repositories via the ODBC clients, or insist that either group use .eap files to keep them seperate.

A useful side effect of using shortcuts to a common exe is that you only have to update a single installation of the software to update  the whole site.

Cheers Graeme R

The recent release of 3.60 Legacy fully addressed my original request.  Thx again to Sparx for the quick turnaround.

The installation of EA360_legacy starts out but then I get a message saying "Corrupt installation detected, check source media or re-download".

I have re-downloaded but to no avail. The file-size is 14,689,792 bytes and the version info says 3.60.662.0.

Does anyone else have the same problem?

Cheers,
Ola
