SWISSLOG Version 5.9a installing on two different drives

RE: SWISSLOG Version 5.9a installing on two different drives
Hello Paul,

This is not a problem... It's a normal behaviour in Windows with most programs. There is no reason to install more than one copy of Swisslog in any computer. From version 5.9 when you install Swisslog it adds a key in the Windows registry. This is done so that for future updates the installer detects the Swisslog installation folder automatically to perform any update process. If you uninstall Swisslog the registry key is also deleted.

Why you want a copy of the Swisslog program in drive D:? it's the same computer so you only need one program installation but you can have as many logs as you want in the folders or drives you want, but ONLY one Swisslog installation.  Later you can open and select any Swisslog database located anywherebut always from a single Swisslog installation.

If you want a backup copy you only need a backup of your Swisslog databsase, your personal reports and if you want to keep the configuration file then copy the SWISSLV5.INI. Nothing else. You can copy the whole Swisslog folder into another drive if do you prefer but it's not needed.

Let me know what you want to do exactly but you don't need to install Swisslog twice in a single computer.
