EA Lite with EA Corporate on same machine
« on: September 05, 2008, 03:45:29 pm »
It would be good if I could install BOTH on the same machine to demonstrate how the Lite version works to persons who need to view the models I have created in the full version.

Currently, if one installs EA Lite, one's corporate version is over-written.

If you didn't change the default install directory for EA Lite then it won't have overwritten EA, just stolen the desktop shortcut. To fix, right-click the desktop shortcut, go to Properties, and change the shortcut target from "C:\Program Files\Sparx Systems\EA LITE\EA.exe" back to "C:\Program Files\Sparx Systems\EA\EA.exe".

To go one step further, you might consider repairing your EA installation using Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.

Find "Enterprise Architect 7.1" in the installed programs list, click the Change button and following the prompts to perform a Repair.

This should restore the correct start menu shortcut, and repair file associations, etc.

Thanks for the guidance guys - I'm sure that will fix me up - I was just thinking that after installation, there would have been two instances of EA in 'Programs' menu - one for full version and one for EA Lite. At least that would have been on my wish list, anyway.  :)

That's what I see on mine.
No, you can't have it!
