Re: Running FM6 and 7 on the same platform

[Thomas Neuburger <thomasn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Frank,

All Frame versions will co-exist. Just install each in a separate directory.

There are some quirks related to OS, not to Frame. For Windows, the 
last-installed version is "Frame" in the Registry, so create shortcuts for 
your other versions to launch them. If a version of Frame is open, 
double-clicking a file icon will open the file in the open instance of 
Frame; otherwise, double-clicking a file opens the last-installed 
(registered) version.

Also, WWP SE associates itself at install-time with whatever version of 
Frame you specify. If you want to change that association, you have to 
re-install WWP or hack the Windows Registry. You'll get a new version of 
WWP with Frame 7 so that won't be a problem right away. If you want to use 
a version of WWP with Frame 7, however, the above applies.

Good luck,

Tom Neuburger
