Installing Website X5 2019  en

Hi guys

I currently use Website X5 Evolution v 17.1.2.

I've downloaded Website X5 2019, but did not install it as it looked like it was going to install over Website X5 Evolution v 17.1.2.

As there is a radical difference in v2019 I wanted to be able to run both versions until I get up to speed with v2019.  So is there a way that I can instal v2019 in a different location?  If not, if I move the current version to my programmes (P) drive and install v2019 in the default location will this allow me to run both versions?  (Not at the same time).  I can create a shortcut to the new location of v17.

Many installers do not give the option to install programmes where I want them but I prefer not to install programmes on my C drive.  As far as I can, I only have system software on the C drive.

Regards

Graham

Hello.

"As there is a radical difference in v2019" - no. You can learn about the main differences from my free video https://magazin.aleksius.com/en/blog/23-website-x5-2019-1 .

"So is there a way that I can instal v2019 in a different location?" - Yes. That's what I did.Download the program from (2019) your personal account and install it in another folder. It seems that the program will do just that by default.

Graham, go ahead and install v2019 (yes this will wipe out v17).

On successful install of v2019 go to your profile (top right this screen), select download and select v17. Download it and install and you will be able to run both versions (as long as you keep different versions of the project).

If you have v17 installer already on you pc please note that it will not work. You MUST download the version currently in your profile. Yes it is an identical name and yes it is an identical size. For some reason Incomedia thinks this is good practise.
