Hi all,

Having an issue witch having both versions 18 and 19 installed on the same machine. I cannot get both versions running at the same time. Either 18 works or 19, but not both of them.

I have 19 running ok, but when I want to work with version 18 (on a version 18 project) the configuration check which is automatically executed when running project, reports 3 errors:
- Launcher: version of the launcher in the virtual directory
- AWP files: version of the launcher
- AWWS files: version of the launcher

and I get a status report that says:

The VI version of '.awws' does not correspond.
Expected version: '30A180063c'
Version read: '30A190056s'

If I correct this 18 runs fine but then 19 generates similar errors.

Do I need to have 2 versions of the application server installed to support this configuration ?
How should this be done ? Any ideas ?

Thanks

Hi Stef

I do have all versions of webdev installed on my machine, but I do not
thing that you will be able to TEST in both at the same time (coding is
not a problem)

In order to accommodate the test mode, webdev changes the configuration
of the web server (IIS/Apache) to point to the correct version of the
local test server, and I have never seen any way to point to two
different versions at the same time...

Best regards

Thanks again Fabrice,

Your answer gives me the impression that you are speaking about running multiple versions TEST environments at the same time. However, my issue is that I have a problem with the fact that 2 versions are installed on the same machine. I can either configure the pc to use version 18 without issues but then 19 will not work.
Reconfiguring for 19 will allow me to successfully run 19 but then 18 will no longer function.
Which is impractical to say the least.

I currently have no need to run tests with both versions at the same time, I can shut down 18 before using 19 and reversely 19 before using 18.

Using 2 machines each with their separate version is no option as I work remote and cannot switch the dongle (I have no network dongle) and also don't really need/want this as it is a waste of resources.

Furthermore updating the version 18 project to 19 causes such a huge loss of functionality to the project that I am forced to revert back to 18 because of the considerable extra developing time needed to fix the numerous issues that migration creates. Otherwise I will simply not make my deadline.
Thank god I made a backup before migrating ...

Running multiple versions of WinDev on the same machine works flawlessly.
But once again, I seem to get stuck with WebDev :(.
