In my attempts to understand things about the Arduino ISP as well as the fact that I have several Arduino boards including a Due I'd like to be able to have different release of the ISP installed and use-able concurrently, each in it's own WIN 7 window.
I performed a fresh install of Arduino 1.0.5-r2 yesterday. I changed the install path appropriately to ..\Arduino105r2 and later invoked the ISP and changed the path to my sketches. That all works well.
But now I'd like to install Arduino 1.5.6-r2 as well. The download worked well. I invoke the windows installer and it warns me that it must uninstall the Arduino 1.0.5 SW in order for it to complete it own install. This is not what I want. I want BOTH.
Back in the old days I used to have Arduio 0.22 and 0.23 (I think) installed concurrently.
It occurs to me that this the board selection should also be more granular. In the past I've run the verify for a sketch destined for the other board and I have to go back repeatedly if I have multiple windows open with different sketches or different versions of the same sketch (uniquely named of course).
Any insight will be appreciated.
