Run Version 8 and Beta 9 on same machine
« on: March 16, 2011, 07:49:05 am »
Is there a way to keep my current version (8) and install the beta version 9 on the same machine?

Yes it is possible but I would urge caution. You need to rename or move the the EA folder (default location is C:\Program Files\Sparx Systems\EA) of version 8. Then install version 9 which will claim to uninstall version 8 and will install itself into the default location. All being well, you can then run either build using their corresponding EA.exe file.
