Using Vault 3.1.X and 3.5.X Clients Side-by-Side?

jminiman · Post by **jminiman** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 7:59 am

I would like to be able to connect to a test 3.5 Server and a production 3.1 Server from the same machine. Is it not possible to have a 3.1 and 3.5 client installed side-by-side and use some kind of SCCSwitch-type application to jump between the two?

Here is a KB on how to run 2 clients concurrently: http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?t=4010

It is also discussed in this forum post: http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic.php?t=2450

Hey Beth,

I appreciate checking up on me. From the two separately installed Vault GUIs, I'm able to connect to both Vault (3.1 and 3.5) servers. However, I don't understand how this applies to VS integration...must I edit the registry each time I want to switch between the two "providers" (I say "providers" because I know Vault is recognized as only one provider)? I do most of my source control access through the IDE.

I believe that was where a switcher would come in. The one a co-worker used was here: http://www.sitedev.com/downloads.aspx.

The forum posts I sent you before were tested with VS 2003, but not with VS 2005.
