Question

installing 6.0 m090 alongside existing 6.0 m010 installation

Hiya,

I am attempting to install 6.0 m090 alongside an existing 6.0 m010
installation but the installer is only providing me the option to upgrade
the m010 installation. How do I force a full installation?

I read the install.pdf provided w/m090 (which was apparently updated last
for m040) but it didn't have anything specific about doing this other than
it mentioned both full and upgrade installation possibilities.

What am I missing?

    We have had problems using virtual PCs in that our network sees any new virtual PC as unauthorized and blocks it from accessing our intranet. One must then get the virtual PC authorized. Bureaucracy ensues.

    In the end, tasklist didn't work for me. It could not detect which version
    was running (or my tasklist-fu was too weak and I couldn't make it do so).
    I found and got wmic to work. This must be run with administrator
    privileges or the commandline value (the path) is not always returned. If
    started from a batch file, it may be. If started from a shortcut that calls
    that batch file, it is not ... unless the admin privs are present. Note the
    path in the second find on the wmic line must match YOUR installation path
    for the test-for, other version. There is a reciprocal set of commands at
    the top of the m010 batch file that obviously look for the m090 install
    path, not the m010 as this code does.


    rem ADD THIS TO the top of the m090 batch file:
    echo off
    wmic process where name="editor.exe" get commandline | find /I /N
    "editor.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "editor60\bin" 2>NUL
    if %ERRORLEVEL%==1 goto startm090
    @echo.
    @echo.
    @echo.
    @echo.
    @echo Editor 6.0 m010 is running and must be closed before starting m090.
    @echo.
    @echo Press Enter to exit.
    @pause
    exit
    :startm090
    rem the rest of my batch file follows ....


    Thanks everyone.
