Can I install different versions of CCS to the sampe PC (windows7 64bit)?

Hello,

I'm using CCSv5.3 and I want to try the latest version of CCS (v5.4) just for test/verification purpose.
Can I install the different versions of CCS to the same PC ?

CCSv5.3 has been installed to the default path (C:\ti) and CCS core (ccsv5 directory) is present there.
So, I think the following scheme may be possible :

  • rename current ccsv5 directory to ccsv5_v53
  • install CCSv5.4 to default path
  • when I want to rewind ccs version, rename current ccsv5 directory to ccsv5_v54 and restore ccsv5 from ccsv5_v53 and vice versa.

But I'm afraid that I would have something errors in PC's registration files with this scheme.
Is there anyone who the different versions of CCS are coexist in the same PC ?

Best Regards,
Kawada

    Hi Kawada,

    You can install 5.4 on the same PC. You're right, renaming the original 5.3 directory to something else will confuse your installation. However, 5.4 does not have to be installed to the default path, you can change that when it asks for an install directory,  for example c:\ti2. This will give you a 5.4 installation in c:\ti2\ccsv5.

    Hi Danish,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I wanted to install CCSv5.4 to the default path (C:\ti) because I had already installed various versions of RTSC pacakges
    (BIOS, XDC, EDMA LLD, BIOSPSP, IPC and so on) to C:\ti.
    If I install CCSv5.4 to the default path, CCSv5.4 would recognize these RTSC packages automatically.But if I install
    CCSv5.4 to the different path, for example, C:\ti2, CCSv5.4 would not recognize packages under C:\ti automatically
    and I would need to specify the RTSC repositories explicitly in my projects. This is not preferable for me.

    I'll try my scheme here and report the result later.

    Best Regards,
    Kawada

    Hi Danish,

    I tried my scheme. CCSv5.4 itself looks working. Thank you.
    But I saw an error during the auto-detection of RTSC packages on C:\ti.

    The following wizard is up when I launch CCSv5.4:

     

    When I pushed "Finish" button and then CCSv5.4 started to recognize the RTSC packages, but lastly, I saw the following error:

    This looks like failing the detection of RTSC packages...
    I seem my scheme described in above can't work correctly.  

    In conclusion, it may be better to follow Danish's way.

    Best Regards,
    Kawada
