I installed the  CCS  5.1 M6, this version installed to folder c: \ ccs \ ... Instead c:\program Files\Texas Instruments\..,
 Is this the place(path) where you recommend to install ccs ?

    Naftali,

    The default is actually going to switch to C:\TI  We are trying to get all software packages to align on that as the default installation root directory.  You are of course free to install where you like.  We are moving away from program files due to issues on Win7/Vista.  Windows locks down this directory when running as a normal user or even admin with UAC on.  This can cause problems with product operation (especially updating).  Thus we are trying to encourage people to install outside of the program files directory.

    Regards,

    John

    "The default is actually going to switch to C:\TI"

     

    What provisions, if any, are being made for "side by side" installs (see: http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/t/101432.aspx )?

    Ideally there would be a better way to support multiple license files other than completely duplicating the entire directory structure.

    You can keep you license files in a common directory and then just point each CCS install to that directory to get the licenses.  In CCSv5 it is very easy to control where CCS is looking for licenses as you can just do it via the manage tab in the license options dialog.  In CCSv4 there is a licenselocation.txt file you can edit and specify paths for CCS to search for licenses.  Is that what you need to do?
