Figure 3 - Finish Installation Dialog
The installer will install the most recent version of DATAFLOW Designer on the target computer. It is also possible to select an older version if required (see Checkbox in the bottom of the dialog in figure 1) by the project (ask the project leader which version to use). Multiple major/minor versions of DATAFLOW Designer can be installed side by side if required for different projects.
NOTE
This means that, for example, versions 1.4.1 and 1.3.3 can be installed side by side. An installation of version 1.4.2 will overwrite version 1.4.1 because both are located in the V 1.4 folder but will not alter the 1.3 installation.
