Running two versions of MMX Desktop

Post by luisdev »

Is it possible to run two different versions of MMX on a single computer (PC / Laptop)?

I'm using / testing version: 1.7.0-Beta, but I would like to test something in v1.6 to check for a regression. Will I be able to install both versions on one computer?

Thanks

Yes, I use the portable version for this, but beware the .mmb databases are not always backwards compatible.

THANKS Renato.

Yes, I'm aware of the risks. I will use multiple databases (with suitable 1.6 and 1.7 naming conventions). One for the v1.6 app, one for the v1.7 app and another v1.6 database upgraded to v1.7 for 1.7.

And another one for the new Android app builds...

Obviously, I won't try to open the v1.7 databases in v1.6...
