Can Rad Studio 11.1 and 11.2 coexist?

Can Rad Studio 11.1 and 11.2 coexist?

 

Does Rad Studio 11.2 install over Rad Studio 11.1 or can the 2 versions both exist on the same computer?

 

Thank you

Yes

I'm interested to know how, since they both use the same folder, i.e.: Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\22.0, same registry root etc

No, in the last email I sent to Embarcadero, I was asked to uninstall version 11.1 in order to install version 11.2.

The solution is to have a separate VM.

No. There is only one BDS key in registry for D11.1 and D11.2 -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Embarcadero\BDS\22.0

Furthermore the D11.2 installer will remove an existing D11.1.x version. 

 

As mentioned before: Use a separate PC/VM.

 

@David Nottage: Sorry, you already posted it.

No.  Embarcadero changed their versioning scheme in 11.0:

Unlike with 10.x, which were all major versions where 10.x.y were minor updates, 11.x are minor updates to 11.0, which is the major version.

 

Only major versions can co-exist.  Minor updates do not.

This was my fear. 

I invested so much time getting 11.1 perfect that I am inclined to wait for the next major release to upgrade.

Thank you.
