Hello all,
It is about the topic "multiple codesys installations on one pc". By default, the library repo and the device repo are the same for all installed versions. Why is this the case? In many cases this leads to problems, because incompatibilities between libraries occur. It often happens that maybe even a new project does not have to be started with the latest version. Then often library placeholders have to be rearranged, etc.
I know the following guide to separate the repos: https://faq.codesys.com/display/CDSFAQ/Installation+of+several+CODESYS+versions
but I think this way is cumbersome and if you have already installed several versions, the instructions don't work anymore. Why is there not already the possibility to install this version completely separately during the setup. Are there any other ways to avoid such errors?
Best regards

Agree, would be great to have.
Should be in with next SP release.

hi,
it is fixed that in SP20 it will be possible to say during the installation that the repos are completely separated?
