Title: Installing MC10 on system with MC11.
Post by: lalittle on August 03, 2005, 05:00:31 am

I need to reinstall MC10 on this system due to some issues with Audible playback in MC11.  I let the MC11 installation uninstall MC10, so MC10 is no longer on this system.  I'd like to keep MC11 on the system, however, so I can continue to test the new versions that come out (so that I can switch over to MC11 once these issues are fixed.)  I know that both MC10 and MC11 can co-exist on the system at the same time, but I'm not clear if there are issues with installing MC10 AFTER MC11 is already installed.  Can I just install MC10 on the system, or should I first uninstall MC11, then install MC10, then install MC11 again, this time telling it NOT to uninstall MC10 during the installation?

Thanks for any assistance with this,

Larry

I suppose no one has tested this thoroughly, but I installed MC10 back to one of my PCs a couple months ago because I needed to check some things in MC10. I didn't uninstall MC11. I checked what I needed and left MC10 installed. Since then I have used MC11 normally without problems and occasionally opened MC10 when I have answered to MC10 questions. I installed MC10 to a custom folder, plain "MC10" in program folders and of course it has a different library location.

Make sure that you use the latest MC10 build. If I remember correctly there were some compatibility fixes in the last two or three MC10 builds.
