Running Several Apps In 1534 While Developing New App In 1535

[Frederick]

I have several internal apps which are compiled in UniGUI 1.90.0.1534. They are not changed often and I do not wish to recompile them each time a new UniGUI version is installed.

However, if I do not recompile them, they don't work because they are expecting version 1534 to be present. I tried to install the 1534 runtime but the installer complains that I should not install the runtime when a framework is present.

How do I keep running the 1534 compiled apps while developing with 1535?

1. Create an ini file with content, for example:

[appwebpath]
extjs=d:\Framework\
uni=d:\Framework\
unipackages=d:\Framework\
unimobile=d:\Framework\

2. In your application, handle it:

procedure TUniServerModule.UniGUIServerModuleBeforeInit(Sender: TObject);
var
  serverConfig: TMemINIFile;
begin
  try
    serverConfig := TMemINIFile.create(UniServerModule.FilesFolderPath + 'unigui.ini');
    ExtRoot := serverConfig.readstring('appwebpath', 'extjs', '[ext]\');
    UniRoot := serverConfig.readstring('appwebpath', 'uni', '[uni]\');
    UniMobileRoot := serverConfig.readstring('appwebpath', 'unimobile', '[unim]\');
    UniPackagesRoot := serverConfig.readstring('appwebpath', 'unipackages', '[unipack]\');
  finally
    FreeAndNil(serverConfig);
  end;

  if ExtRoot <> '[ext]\' then
    ExtRoot := ExtRoot + '[ext]\';
  if UniRoot <> '[uni]\' then
    UniRoot := UniRoot + '[uni]\';
  if UniMobileRoot <> '[unim]\' then
    UniMobileRoot := UniMobileRoot + '[unim]\';
  if UniPackagesRoot <> '[unipack]\' then
    UniPackagesRoot := UniPackagesRoot + '[unipack]\';

  CustomFiles.Clear;
end;

3.copy to directory d:\Framework of c:\Program Files (x86)\FMSoft\Framework\uniGUI\

 ext-7.2.0
 uni-1.90.0.1534
 unim-1.90.0.1534
 unipackages-7.2.0

Thank you for the steps. I'll implement it and post the results here.

The classical way is to deploy any unigui project with its specific Runtime on a Server. 

Example :

Project1 = Runtime 1530

Project 2 = Runtime 1534

Project 3 = Runtime 1535

All should work fine.

The question is : Why are you deploying your projects on your own working PC (Delphi + Unigui) ?

One of my internal apps is a gardening app which I use to keep track of my gardening activities. There is no need to deploy it to a server and updating it and accessing its database is a breeze when it is installed in my PC. I don't need to access it over the Internet.

Your steps work great! Thanks again.
