How to install multiple versions of AutoPIPE Vessel on the same computer at the same time. Answer: The new version of AutoPIPE Vessel is installed to the same directory folder by default. That is why the user should uninstall the previous version before installing the new version. However, this Enhancement 75008: Enable side-by-side installation, has been logged and will be added to the next major release of the application (i.e. Select Series 2). Until then, Yes, there can be multiple versions of AutoPIPE Vessel on the same computer at the same time. Please see the following general outline: Install the older version of the program first. After the older version has been successfully installed, open the folder where it was installed , (default: C: \Program Files\Bentley\Engineering\), the user must manually rename the target program folder (i.e. AutoPIPE Vessel SelectSeries) of the previous release to a different name before installing the next version. Otherwise the new Setup will overwrite the default folder with files from the new version without warning. After installing the 2nd version of the application, all the icon short cuts of the 1st version will need to be updated to the corrected folder location. Furthermore, there are other some other minor changes in the Registry (please log a service request for details on this step).
