Multiple NNDK installation

Post by Claudio »

Good morning,

we are developing our NetBurner application, and we normally use the most recent available NNDK version. However sometimes, when NB produces a new NNDK version, for a period of time(due to testing), we would like to mantain both NNDK versions (old and new).

We have already tried to install multiple NNDK versions on the same machine, but we encountered some problems related in particular to workspaces, user NB folders and environment settings. It would be very useful to us a guide containing the steps to install multiple independent NNDK versions, so that they can be run separately on the same machine, without workspaces or settings overlaps/interactions. Does something similar exist or how could we get support about this issue?

Thank you in advance.

Hello Claudio,

The easiest way to do it is to rename the installation folder, normally "nburn", to something else and then do the install. That way the old environment is 100% safe and can be used just by renaming the directories again. For example, lets say I have 2.7.1 installed and want to upgrade to 2.8.2:

Rename \nburn to \nburn2p7p1
Install 2.8.2 to \nburn

If you want 2.7.1 back again rename the 2.8.2 install to \nburn2p8p2 and rename \nburn2p7p1 to \nburn4

You can do this with as many versions as you wish.
