Is it possible to have version 1.8 installed and version 2 installed on a Win 11 system, keeping them independat of each other?
Hi @martyngriffin.
Yes, there is no problem with having both versions installed at the same time.
If you are only asking whether the two applications can coexist, then you are set.
If for some reason you truly want to have both installations completely independent, including using separate libraries and boards platform installations, this should not be necessary, but it is possible.
The way to accomplish it is to put your Arduino IDE 1.x installation into portable mode, following the instructions here:
In portable mode. the sketchbook and boards platforms are stored under the portable subfolder you created in the Arduino IDE installation folder. Only your Arduino IDE 1.x installation will use that folder. Arduino IDE 2.x will use the standard global sketchbook and boards platform folders, which Arduino IDE 1.x will no longer use due to being in portable mode.
