Thanks Julio. Like you I duplicate 4D all the time to run multiple instances
on my Mac.
On windows, however, I have been reluctant to fiddle with windows installations
as I suspect that there are DLLs or other files installed in places that I
know not where.
I did in fact just now try what you suggested and it works! I will do some more
testing, but it looks like that is the way to go.
Anyone have any warnings with regard to using a duplicate of the 4D version
folder? For example...
C:\Program Files (x86)\4D\4Dv16.0
C:\Program Files (x86)\4D\4Dv16.0 - Copy
put a shortcut of C:\Program Files (x86)\4D\4D v16.0 - Copy\4D\4D.exe
on the desktop.
