17 + 18 Installation?

<< < (3/3)

audunth:
Thanks, Matt. Indeed sharing a library folder led to some problems when going from 16 to 17, so I'll be sure to avoid doing that same mistake again :)

bunglemebaby: Yes, since MC 18 converts the library to a format not supported by MC 17, MC 17 will no longer be able to access the library if you move the new library created by MC 18 to the location where your MC 17 library is. So if using both you have to maintain separate libraries in separate folders and import new stuff and make changes to both separately.

(I assume these problems only arise if actively using the libraries in the this shared folder via both MC17 and MC18?)

What Matt is saying, is that if you want MC18 to store it's library in a location other than it's default you'll need to do a custom install. By default it will copy the MC17 library to the default  MC18 location.

It does.

Urbanito:
After installing MC 18 and configure it on all my computers, can I uninstall MC17 without any problem? Is there possible to have some instructions to follow?

Best regards

Yes.  They should behave like separate programs.

For example, I keep at least the last 3 major versions installed on my work machine.
