Problems with two CoreLab DbExpress Drivers on same machine.

Post by HK » Tue 16 Oct 2007 19:41

If I installl DbxIda, and after DbxSda on the same machine, the installer removes from Add/Remove Program the icon for uninstall de DbxIda, and vice-versa. And when I have to upgrade, I have to remove manually the other driver and the registry keys .... Another question... Why I have to remove before install a new version? Why the installer not upgrade automatically?

Thank you for information. We reproduced the first problem. It will be fixed in the nearest build.

> Why the installer not upgrade automatically?
Our dbExpress drivers have common components. If you have several drivers installed, and upgrade only one of them, silent modification of the common components may damage other drivers.
If you have only one driver installed, you can run its installation with the force key. This may look like this: dbxida220.exe /force
