Downloading Beta Question

#1

Post by RichKnox »

Will downloading the recent Beta version with comet stacking overwrite the recently installed 4.0 64 bit release version I am running or can both reside on the same computer?

Hi,

no, it will not overwrite 4.0, so you can keep both side-by-side. This is quite deliberate, since the last thing I want is for people to perhaps find a nasty bug in the new version and have no way to go back quickly to a working version.

When you first run SharpCap 4.1, it will copy all the settings you have set up in 4.0. After that, the settings are separate, so you will not end up breaking 4.0 due to settings changes made in 4.1

cheers,

Robin
