Did you know? You can install more than one version of SharpCap

If you want to test out the latest beta versions of SharpCap but are concerned about bugs while imaging, don't worry. You can install different versions of SharpCap on the same computer and then run whichever version you want without worrying about them interfering with each other or causing other problems.

Basically, each major version of SharpCap (2.8, 2.9, 2.10 etc) acts as a separate program so you can have them installed side-by-side. You can't however install two different updates of the same version (ie 2.9.3032 and 2.9.3055) at the same time - when you install a new update of SharpCap it will replace any existing install with the same major version number.

Would there be any danger of driver downgrades if installing say v2.10 and then v2.9 or is each major version self contained?

Each version has its own self-contained versions of the camera SDK, so they won't interfere with each other.
