This question is to all.
Can I install different versions of trueSpace on the same computer but in different directories and expect them to run correctly?
Also with VRay installed in both?
I would like to run the different truBlue and Clintonman improvements but not with my current setup. Also try out the render-er.

I have ts 3, 5.2, 6.6, 7.6, 7.6.1 with unofficial update. 7.6.1 stand alone with update all to the default install location. No vray though. never noticed a problem. Well sometimes i've had a problem exporting to .x

Re: trueSpace differant versions installed?
Don’t you mean install two of the same version of trueSpace as in tS7.61B8 to your C drive?
Looking at Clinton's video, it looks like it is possible.

He has several XXX versions installed, by a Virgin. Couple of things I have noticed Installing/Uninstalling tS761 and tS761Std with Vray
Both trueSpaces have an Uninstall in the Control Panel's Programs and Features. Vray only has one. (First One) So I had to run the unins001.exe from the trueSpace directory to uninstall the second Vray installation. Vray's installer defaults to the trueSpace761 directory, so you will have to browse to where you want to install it.
Also noticed that the Vray (Re-Installation) process gets kind of whacky. Makes me think there is some kind of Registry info left over. I searched one time for Vray and Chaos Group in my Registry, but did not find anything.
Also when you uninstall one of the trueSpace installations, you lose the file association to trueSpace files like RsScn, RsObj, and cob...etc
Same thing happens with the iOptic Detectors Install/Uninstall, so you can have several versions of the unins000.exe
IE: unins000.exe, unins001.exe, unins002.exe etc... First one being the trueSpace Uninstaller.
Hope this makes sense.

Re: trueSpace differant versions installed?
Hi trueBlue, the Vray installation setup file write nothing in the registry after my test, you can check it by extracting the Vray installation setup file with UniExtract, extract the file in a new folder with the 3rd extract method option (right-click on the file and uniextract in sub folder), after that you can open the "install.iss" file with notepad, and see nothing is related to the registry compared to the trueSpace install.iss setup file that have a lot of registry entries. It is how i make my own setup iss script file by study the iss file.
