Hi,

I had successfully converted 70% of my 2.6 to 2.8 and seems like
running well. However there is a client using a couple of 2.6 apps
developed by someone else which I do not have the source code. My
question is what is the best and STABLE method to run all apps under
both versions in one server. The current setup is the 2.6 libs are
filed in p:\VO-Libs and the system common path is pointed to this
location. I believe I can copy all 2.8 libs into each apps startup
folder for the converted systems but this can be quite messy
especially if I have to add or recompile some libs in the future. Any
suggestions would be much appreciated.

I usually install apps and dll on workstations - database on the server
My app automatically update exe+dll from a defined path on the server, so I
update the app only on the server.
This is done by SplasScreen app, ie the runner of the "real" app.
Updating on the server, automatically update the database structures (old
database backup preceding...)

My 2 c.

Massimo

Thanks Massimo,

On this one I can't because the apps are run in TS enviroment.
Furthermore many if not all, users need to work on both types of apps.

Hello tham chan weng,

Could you install the dll's required in the folder where your exe is ?

Hi,

Yes. This is an option and is how I am doing it, but thought there is
another way which may be more safe proof in the future.
