Wondering if different versions can reside on one machine

Hello.
I have a complex but currently working setup on my win-xp/32 bit sp3 computer.
I have used photoshop since CS and am currently using CS3 extended.
Here's the complex part. I then discovered I'd like a few other programs and opted for Design Premium CS3 as it was more cost effective even though I had photoshop CS3 extended. It all is happy working together (and I don't think there's a reason it shouldn't).
What I'd like to do now, is install photoshop CS4 extended.
Will photoshop CS4 play nicely with DP CS3? I ask because I know there are so many common files and things that get shared between components that I'd hate to see something conflict where the colour picker in PCS4 for example is different and suddenly the one in say, Flash has changed to the "new" palette.
Even stranger still, would it be possible to leave photoshop CS3 on the computer as well? I know this may seem odd, but if I share this computer with people who don't need CS4 and are comfortable with their workflow. I on the other hand need the latest ACR so I have to upgrade. That again brings me to wonder if installing the latest ACR will "foul up" CS3 and it's ACR.
I know this may have been discussed at some point in the past as CS4 has been available for some time, but I thought my combination of programs and variations might make this situation unique.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

Not specific to your versions, but I had PS 4, 5, 7 and CS all on the same machine for various reasons. All ran fine. Now, the only little thing was that file types, like PSD, were affiliated with CS (then my latest version), but that did not affect anything.
With some programs, like Adobe Encore, there is a direct link to PS, Edit in Photoshop, and a few people have run afoul when they installed PS CS4, but wanted the Edit in Photoshop call to open CS3. It was a simple matter of just changing the file affiliation for .PSD (the format that Encore Menus are done in) to CS3 - fixed.
Other than that, I have never heard of any issues, but like I said, different versions.
Also, and this applies to Premiere Pro CS3 & CS4, but might carry over to other Adobe programs: if one has PrPro CS3 installed, then installs PrPro CS4, and THEN uninstalls PrPro CS3, some necessary parts of PrPro CS4 are deleted. The trick is to just do a Repair Install of PrPro CS4 and all is fixed. There were obviously some folders/files common to both versions, and removing CS3 took those out. I'd guess that Adobe has plans on making sure that similar does not happen with CS5, but that is only a guess.
Good luck, and wish that I had something specific to the versions in your question,
Hunt

Multiple version of Java on one machine

Is it possible to have multiple versions of Java co-exist on the same XP Pro machine?
Here is our scenario: we have apps that use Java 1.5, but we have one critical app that doesn't support that version yet. It has to use the 1.4 version. Is there a way to allow both versions to exist and be usable for their respective apps? If so, how?
Thank you.

I can't, however it's never a good idea to have
multiple versions of Java on one machine. Try and
standardise if possible. If OP used JAVA_HOME as you
often suggest, then he would be knackered wouldn't
he? JAVA_HOME can only point to one JDK. Your
advice is conflicting kaj.Nope. JAVA_HOME should always be defined in the start script/file for a java application, so it's not set per system. It's very common that companies have applications that requires different JDK/JRE versions, and it's usually very expensive to upgrade all applications (if it's possible at all). You can of course also alter the PATH variable if you want to in the script.

Is it possible to have two versions of Muse on one Machine? WhenI open Muse from my program menu in WIndows 7 it comes up the way I am used to. I did an upgrade a week or so ago and now I have an Adobe Muse CC 2014 on my desktop. WhenI open the application that way the GUI interface looksw totally different, more like Illustrator. What is that all about?

Since posting the above, I have resolved a sensible work-around in regard to ebookstores which prefer us to have separate accounts for our separate Adobe IDs.
However, I really would appreciate it if anyone here can confirm that a DRM controlled book does actually become associated with a particular Adobe ID account at the time of first download to Digital Editions on that PC/device.
Two large book stores have said using my account with them to download books to our two separate Adobe IDs is OK, but I don't want to find my husband is unable to open his downloaded books.
Thank you folks for any advice you can give,
Sue

Two versions of Robo on one machine

I have RoboInfo 5 and RoboHelp 7 installed on my computer.
RoboInfo publishes to RoboEngine on Win 2000 server. RoboHelp 7
publishes to RoboHelp 7 Server on Windows 2003 server.
I recently upgraded to a newer computer. We re-installed
RoboHelp and then later installed RoboInfo again. Since doing this,
I'm not able to publish our RoboHelp projects. The server crashed,
and so far we haven't been able to get it going again.
Don't know if it had anything to do with re-installing the
software, but I think I remember reading somewhere in the forums
about conflicts that can arise between two versions of Robo on the
same machine. Is this a possibility, and is it recommended that
they be installed on different machines?
It is interesting that now in my RoboHelp projects folder,
the .xpj project icons show the RoboInfo icon, not the RH7 icon
(and RoboInfo was installed last).

There can be conflicts between different versions but you had
both working OK before. I think the problem here is the order in
which you installed them.
As with most software that permits multiple versions to run,
the installation procedure is earliest first.

Can I have two versions of Safari on one machine?

The question first, then the explanation for the question: Can I have both Safari 5 and Safari 6 on my machine and run them at the same time?
I hate Safari 6 & 7 because they combine the search and URL into one bar, which really annoys me. It requires an extra step when I type in the direct URL I want, because instead of returning the URL, it goes to a search page, and then I have to click the site I want. Annoying. So I have not upgraded from Safari 5 on my iMac, which I use nearly all the time. I have tried Firefox because it still has the search and URL boxes separate, but I also like the little orange arrow in Safari 5 that quickly takes me back to my original search when I've ended up on rabbit trails in my searching and I want to go back to where I was -- Firefox does not have this. (I dislike Firefox in general, anyway.)
However, now I'm finding that some websites are beginning to warn me that my browser (Safari 5) is too old and may not work properly. Now I have found a site for which indeed that is true -- a site I regularly use for my job, and a company which says they will no longer offer support for issues on Safari 5. One screen is split into two, and I could always scroll the two sides separately, but after an update to the site, now they will not scroll separately. I have a MacBook Air, which I rarely use, and tested the same page on Safari 6 -- it works on Safari 6. Thus, the company will refuse to help me and tell me to just update my browser.
I really like Safari, EXCEPT for the new versions' combined search/URL bar, so I want to keep using Safari 5. Thus, I want to know if I can have both Safari 5 and 6 on my machine at all, and if so, then I want to know if I can have them both open at the time, for example, if I give them different names (Safari 5 and Safari 6, rather than just Safari).
This is for my iMac, which is running Lion 10.7.5

>>I could not see this reply in Safari 5, neither by refreshing the page nor by clicking "Latest reply," which did nothing.
That's a very common issue with the software that runs these discussions, and usually nothing to do with the browser. Pasting a single character reply, often reveals the missing item(s); as does viewing the thread without signing in first.

Two Instances of different Versions of iAS on one Server possible?

Hi!
One of our customers wants to upgrade his Forms-Applications from 9.0.4.2 to 10.1.2. He says, we should install a second iAS (10.1.2) on the Development-Server, where already an iAS 9.0.4 runs. Is this possible? And if yes, are there any threads with a cooking recipe how to install the second iAS?
Thanx in advance for any answer!

Hi,
Yes you can. It's adviceable to do that on another server. If you decide to do that on the same server then you'll need to use another directory for your new AS.

Hamdy

Keep multiple versions of Lightroom on one machine?

I have Lightroom 3 and am considering upgrading to Lightroom 5. I love Lightroom 3, and would like to keep it installed as backup / alternative. I inquired with purchase chat and was told that if I upgraded to 5 that 3 would be deactivated. Is this correct? They seemed positive that if I upgraded to 5 my previous version would be deactivated. Maybe I won't like 5 as much. I love 3, and don't know that I 'need' 5, but I'm setting up a new machine so am upgrading or adding a lot of software right now as a part of that process.
If I'm going to lose 3, then I probably won't upgrade to 5. Why tempt fate and give up something that works well and that I know pretty well.

I cannot speak to any deactivating. However, the databases for v3 and v5 are not compatible. If you update your v3 database to a v5 database, LR3 will not be able to read it. No new databases created by LR5 will be able to be read by LR3.
In all honesty, I cannot think of a reason to stay with LR3 with v5.7 being available.
I know that v4 and v5 work fine side by side, so I don't see why v3 and v5 would behave any differently. Make a copy of your old catalog and update the copy to v5.

Send idoc from one version of R/3 to different version

Hi All,
I have a scenario to send idocs from one R/3 system to another (both have different versions) .Can anyone tell me the step by step way to configure. Do I need to program anywhere to send or receive idocs Any help is really appreciated
Thanks
Michael

Hi michael,
The version change technique allows you to exchange idocs with systems using the older version of idocs.
For this v have to configure the sending system to generate back level idoc for receiving system using the partner profile. configuring the partner profile is enough to send idocs in this scenario.

Two instance with same port number in one machine.

How can I config one machine(one IP) to listen to two different URLs with same port? (http://www.abc.com & http://www.xyz.com)??

What you are looking for is a feature called virtual servers. Lots of information in Chapter 13 of the admin guide.
The key is that there is only one server instance. (One available port pretty much implies one server instance.) But the virtual server feature allows you to specifiy different "virtual" servers based on the URL characteristics. (such as domain name)

Nope, you are out of luck.

How can I handle deploying multiple test systems on the same PC that have been developed using different versions of LabVIEW, TestStand, and/or Switch Executive?

The major issue here is that the test systems must be documented and validated before being released to the production floor. Given this if a test station has multiple test systems deployed on it that have been developed on various versions of LV, TS, and Switch exec how can I force the test system selected to use the correct versions of TS, LV, and Switch exec.? I understand that the solution would be to recomplie everything and bring them up to the latest version but that would then require re-validation according to the QA department. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
It would be nice if theTS deployment was more like an LV executable... meaning when a LV executable is launched it always knows what LV runtime engine to use when there are multiple engines installed on a PC.

Hi,
Multiply versions of teststand can reside on the same system, but only one version can run at a time. They is a utility that has to be run to set the active version.
The SequenceFiles have a version number, and you will find an error will be generate if you try to Load the sequencefile in the wrong version of TestStand.
The labview VIs will only work providing the correct version of the RTE is also installed on your system, even a labview executabe requires the correct RTE to be installed, either as part of the executable installation or as a seperate installation, before the labview exe will work correctly.
I'm not fimilar with the Switch exec but I would expect that it will also require the correct lower level device drivers to be available for the version you are using.
Therefore, as you are indicating that some of your system are at a older version, its difficult to image how you could achive this, considering if you say you have different versions of the software(s). For a start, you may have the problem that newer code/ sequencefiles using additional functionatily not available in the older versions.
I would think your only solution would be to have different deployments covering the different versions you have, or at least bring all your test systems up to the same version of teststand.

How can I distribute an application using Reprot generation Toolkit for MS Office for different versions of MS Office?

I want to create an application which uses the Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office. The office version of the target machine depends on what my customer has installed.
From several discussions I have seen that the installer detects which version I have on my development machine. I'm not able to hold three or four machines with different versions (97,2000,2002,XP).
I decided to do the following software architecture:
I create a LLB MakeReport.llb with a VI called MakeReport.vi. With VI server I will start MakeReport.vi in MakeReport.llb. Over a named queue I will send a command from my application to MakeReport.vi. Then the report will be
printed.
I will create this LLB by saving MakeReport.vi with File>>Save with options...>>Application distribution. All neccessary VIs will be in the LLB.
I will hold different directories for each version. I can create different version of the LLB. During installation of my application the LLB for the right version will be copied from the CD to the application folder.
I know I will be restricted in testing my report in only one version and hoping it will be good in the other versions.
I think that the difference lays only in the word and excel related llbs.
1. Will my software architecture work or is it obviously wrong?
2. How will I get all versions from the toolkit CD?
3. Which is the registry key I must read to get the right version (a minor question, if somebody knows I do not need to search for myself).

Using 7.1.1, 8.5.1, 8.6.1, 2009 on XP and RT
Don't forget to give Kudos to good answers and/or questions

Lookout saves the files in .csv form which can be opened in Excel. I did make some progress by using the "append table to report" vi which allowed me to put values into an array and then those values were entered into my template on my report vi.
Where I am stuck now is I want to be able to put values into my template from a .csv file, not from an array I have to manually put numbers in.
Once those values are in my template I want to pull summed values from the template and place them into a final excel file for printing.
I have attached examples of the files I am working with to help you better understand what I am trying to do.
I hope that makes sense.

How can I save different versions in iMovie 11 (plus angry rant)

Sigh.
My fiancee is sitting in front of the computer crying because iMove just messed up her project. The project that was basically done. The project she has to hand in tomorrow morning (it is midnight right now).
Who knows what happened. Things apparently just jumped around and no amount of undoing is getting her back to where she wants to be (apparently she used undo, then tried to fix things, then tried to undo again).
Which leads me to:
*** was Apple thinking when they removed the ability to save a file? Seriously! Both of us are experienced computer users and both of us are in the (very vital) habit of saving multiple versions of a file. We don't save a version every 10 seconds, and we don't save a version for every insignificant change. But we do save versions whenever we feel we have hit a milestone. And we would have done exactly that had there been some obvious way to do it in iMovie.
OSX Lion (the first version of OSX that desperately makes me want to downgrade) is supposed to autosave so that you don't have to. But iMove 11 apparently cannot do even this simple thing. As far as I can tell you work on your project and it is the *only* version of this project you can ever work on. If you make a change, you can either:
live with it
or
linearly undo as long as you have not quit the program. Heaven forbid that it crashes or (like it just did right now) stops playing back audio and you have to quit and restart.
There must be a way of saving different versions of your project so that you aren't messing with your one and only precious copy every time you make an edit. Please tell me there is. Or how do I get to the autosaved versions? It is probably too late for her now (she has to redo most of the project to get the audio to line up again) but for future reference we could use some help.
Sigh. Now I have to go help her. I feel so bad for her and I pretty much want to chuck the freaking computer through Apple's living room window right now.

Sorry for your frustration.
Here are two tips that may help in the future.
To save a version, use FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a61c0ec
You might also consider using Time Machine backups.

How can i deploy two different versions of the same application on the same server??

I have two different versions of an application. One is a released version. And another version under development. I need to port this version of the application to the same server. I'm using the same classes and packages(except for some new ones). Is it sufficient if i change the name of my ear(application name). Or should i change my code also.

Hi
You can repackage the new versions of ear,jar and war with different names. I hope that should work well.
Cheers
