Multiple Platforms

Hi,

I wish to run multiple copies of V7. I have done this no problem in V6 but I am getting:

"Error - Unable to start Logging System. Please change the logger port number in your settings and restart MF Pro."

What am I doing wrong? I am running XP and creating multiple installations, named differently in "Program Files". I have also tried the new profile feature on the log in screen but get the same message. The two platforms do run but all the test bets appear in one statement and other things also seem to clash.

(Since posting the above I see this is the subject to another thread which I missed - I am obviously not the only one having difficulties)

Help, please?

Hi
Multiple instances in V7 should be run from a single installation, but with separate profiles. I suggest backing up any trigger files etc., uninstalling all copies of the program, and re-installing one installation with the default location, settings etc. Test that installation works OK. Now add a new profile to that installation, and test again. It should work OK.
Although there are some problems in recent versions, mcbee for example runs 21 instances from a single installation.

Hope this helps.

Hi Mark, that's very helpful.

( My problems are compounded by a pc packing up over Xmas so I am running one instance on a laptop from the old hard drive which is an abnormal location as it is not the drive with XP on it. )
