Double installation on the same development PC

[a.sanf]

Hi to Everybody

I have been developing for years with delphi RIO 10.3 and unigui 1.90.1560, a very stable platform. The question is, since we would like to start thinking about migrating to Delphi 12.1 Athens, is it possible to install unigui 1.95.1583 on the same PC, for example?
Is it possible to have two unique installations on the same PC, perhaps taking care to install in different directories?

Thanks

Hello,

For different versions of Delphi?

Hello Sherzod

As it stands, I have two Delphi installations on the same development PC. Delphi 10.3 and Delphi 12 (working properly in my business development PC, we are migrating many projects from 10.3 to 12).
I typically create different directories for complex third-party packages, so I decided to create a directory called "\D10.3components" where I installed Unigui 1.90.1560 package and then proceeded to install the x1560 package on the Delphi 10.3 (working properly and I'm working on it without problems).

Now I would like to create a directory "\D12components", where I will install the Unigui 1.95.1583 package, and then build and install only on Delphi 12.

The doubt that arises in my mind is, could there be ExtJs libraries or packages etc etc, which could cause confusion and create some instability in the two systems? when I go to do compilations, deployments etc (I mean in my development PC).

Thanks

Hi 

In practice, when I try to install the second installation Unigui 1.95.1583, it is not possible to choose the directory (the one where I did the first installation with delphi 10.3 and unigui .1560), so I cannot proceed with the installation for fear that problems will be created during the first installation.

Any idea? 

Thanks

Hi, me too I'm interested in installing different UniGUI versions on different Delphi environments. Is there a solution ?

Thanks

@Sherzod Hello Sherzod,

I've seen that starting from build 1601 there is a new installer, and that it is possible to specify the installation folder
and the RAD studio version to use with that UniGUI build.

I'm still using build 1485 on RAD Studio 10.3; would it be possible to install one of the latest builds on RAD Studio 12
keeping the old environment still working ?

This is necessary, because the migration process is slow, one project at a time, and at the same time we still need the possibility to build them 
with the old UniGUI version.

Please confirm me that it is feasible.

Thank you

Simply set the UniGUI parameters (on each project) for your desired Framework, in this way you can have both Legacy Delphi and Legacy UniGUI installations along with your current installations on the same PC:-

procedure TUniServerModule.UniGUIServerModuleBeforeInit(Sender: TObject);
begin

...

  //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  // Sencha Ext JS Runtime
  ExtRoot:=         'C:\FmRun1600\ext-7.8.0\';
  UniRoot:=         'C:\FmRun1600\uni-1.95.0.1600\';
  UniMobileRoot:=   'C:\FmRun1600\unim-1.95.0.1600\';

...

end;
