How can we create new EA instance for anyother version of EA.

[Tafros]

While creating EA instance like
EA.Repository rep = new EA.Repository().
By default it creates EA instance from primary Installed Path.How can we span instance from any other version of EA,which is also installed on the same machine.
For Eg. I am having EA12 and EA14(active version) and i need to create new EA instance from EA12.
How can i achieve this?

Which language? Usually there's a method to tell the system to open an EXE via a specific path.

Hi Tafros,

You might want to google something like "c# start an exe".
I'm pretty sure the answer is already out there.

Not entirely clear what you are wanting to do.
If you want to launch a specific instance of the EA application programatically you can use  the microsoft ProcessStartInfo Class. For example, in VB.net the following will launch the .exe you specify.


Dim p As New Process
p.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sparx Systems\EA\ea.exe" ' filename of specific EA .exe so could point to a different directory which has a different version
p.StartInfo.Arguments = "C:\Users\EXploringEA\Downloads\123.eap" 'e.g. filename of eap
Dim hasItStarted = p.Start()

This will launch the required version of EA and assuming its completely OK for different versions to coexist this should be fine.  I did a quick test and all seemed to work OK, but best ask sparx to confirm multiple versions are OK and there is no potential crossover.

Hope this helps.
