Running two ExeOutput versions on computer

ExeOutput for PHP
1

Is there a way to run both 2024.2 and 2024-1-2 on a computer?

I’m running into a problem with 2024.2 and wonder if it’s my PHP script or 2024.2. Would like to compile under 2024-1, where it used to work, just to check. But when I try to install 2024-1-2 via download exophpsetup2024-1-2.exe it fails saying “A later version of ExeOutput for PHP 2024.1 is already installed. Setup will now exit”.

I know I could remove 2024.2 then reinstall later. But prefer to have both versions running.

No, it’s not possible. The sole workaround is to use a virtual machine to run a virtual Windows.

I don’t wish to buy another Windows version just to run a virtual machine.

How difficult is it to remove 2024.2 and reinstall 2024.1? Then go back to 2024.2. Is it as simple as removing ExeOutput for PHP 2024.2 from Windows “Uninstall a program” and then reinstalling 2024.1? Or is there a better way?

Thanks

Yes, you can just uninstall and reinstall.
Or you can also try to:

  1. install V2024.1,
  2. copy the entire “ExeOutput for PHP” installation folder of V2024.1 to the same location but with a different name
  3. install V2024.2.
    Thus, you should have the two versions on the same PC, they will share the same settings though.
