EA 17 Beta install removed my EA 16

[wivel]

Hi

Tried to install EA 17 Beta on a different folder, as I have done before when having multiple versions installed, but it still removed my EA 16 installation.

What did I do wrong?

I usually rename my old EA folders beforehand. But when installing the beta specifying the target folder to be EA17 this worked as well.

For as long as I can remember, EA has used the same upgrade code for the installer. Which means it always has removed the previous versions during install.

Maybe it has to do with 32 vs 64 bit versions?
When I isntalled V16 64, V15 32 was not removed.

Seem to recall it is possible to have multiple installations if you install in different folders.

Will do some more investigation.

Yes.
I have 15.2 in [C:\Program Files (x86)] and 16.1 in [C:\ProgramFiles].

I've always first renamed the EA folder, and then installed the new version at the standard location.

I did it ‘the other way round’. Kept the EA 16 folder name and changed the install folder name when installing EA 17.

Will try to rename the existing EA 16 folder before trying again.

That did the trick.

Thanks Geert
