Is it possible to run 3.1.9 and 3.5 clients on same machine?

Is it possible to run the 3.1.9 and 3.5 Vault clients on same machine and have them integrate with Visual Studio (one at a time, of course)? Or would we need to uninstall/re-install whenever we need to switch versions?

We have a situation where one client is running the 3.1 Vault server and another the 3.5 server. Since we need to do development with both (and the client versions need the respective server versions) we were wondering if we could install both clients. Also, it would be important what we could choose in Visual Studio which version we wanted to use.

Thanks,
JT

You can install both on the same machine, you will just need to put one in a different location so it doesn't upgrade the previous version.

In order to make VS switch between the two versions of Vault, you would need to edit the registry each time. You would go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceGear\Vault Client and change the SCCServerPath key to point at the VaultIDE.dll you want to use.
