Overview:
As BOP4.2 is released many of us would like to install both
the versions simultaneously on a single machine. The problem is BOP4.2 runs on Java7 while BOP4.1 runs on Java6, and at a single point of time
only one JRE has to be defaulted. (Although we can install both the JDK/JRE in
any machine simultaneously). This writeup will enable you to run either BOP4.2 or BOP4.1 at any
point of time, you still cannot run both the versions simultaneously.
Steps to Install:
Assuming BOP4.1 is already installed on the machine with
Java6, I will proceed with installation of BOP4.2 and related components the
next steps.
1. Stop All the existing cordys services in your machine.
2. Download Java7 (32 or 64 bit as per your machine)
3. Install the same (do not choose to upgrade the existing
java installation instead install in a different folder). The java control
panel should look something like this
As soon as you install Java7 in your machine there will be
some registry entries made, screenshot is given below:
Let it be like this and dont change
anything here.
4. Download and install BOP4.2 (take care of 32bit or 64 bit)
in your machine. [I hope no other issue comes in the installation and it is
perfectly smooth (which is least likely :-) )](A restart of the machine is
preferable after you do this)
At this point of time your BOP4.2 will be running perfectly
fine but BOP4.1 will stop running.
Now to run BOP4.1 again all you've to do is to change the
"Current Version" attribut of "Java Development Kit" and
"Java Runtime Environment" to 1.6 again and start the BOP4.1 services
from windows services console.
