SW 07 and 08 on same PC

[rjason71]

Has anyone noticed any issues running SWorks 2007 and 2008 on the same workstation?

Only 1. I'm doing this on 3 systems with only one issue. When switching back and forth between versions toolbars dissappear and need to be reset. Both versions are individual installs in their own folder.

Might need to tell SW to change the default directory where it stores templates, Toolbox stuff, etc.--it's the non-Program-Files directory and I think you can specify this during install to prevent the overlap problems with toolbars and the like.

I haven't had any problems at all.

No problems here just have to change your SW install directory. One thing you have to understand is that if you have TB you have to decide if you want to overwrite your old version of TB. If you do then your old version will not be able to use TB anymore.

I had SW05 to 08, but now just have 06 to 08. No problems here.

If your toolbars are giving you errors like Toolbar inconsistence, then you need to look that up in KB there is fix for that, but the TB locations etc... are saved individually at the reg level. Only problem I know there is with TB other then above is if you use Vista OS.
