Multiple IMAQ version on single computer

[middletongard]

I have a number of cameras that I work with - mostly CameraLink, but one LVDS. I'd like to be able to develop and test these from one machine, but there is a bug in more recent versions of IMAQ that cause the camera data to be delayed and/or shifted (I found this out through e-mail correspondance with one of NI's support people). For the CameraLink, I'd like to use the most recent version of IMAQ. What would be the best way to have both version accessible on one computer? Can I install them to different user accounts, so they are only accessible to a single user? Would the only way to do this be to dual-boot?

Thanks,

Gard

Try to install them on different user accounts in single boot system.

Hi middletongard,

Newer versions of our drivers will automatically erase older ones when updating, so in order to be able to have two versions of the drivers on the computer, you will essentially need to have two separate hard drives.  This is done by setting up the computer in dual boot mode, so follow through with the dual boot mode.

I solemnly accept this solution.
