Are there any instructions on exactly how to do this? I tried to
install both of them on my machine. I told setup-1.7 to install into a
separate directory, however, all of the other registry stuff that keeps
track of what is installed seems to be used as well. So, it installed
some stuff, but not everything. The resulting install could not run
programs because of missing dll's.
Thanks.
