    Beta and Public release?

    Is there a way to install these so that both versions stay active and dont overwrite one another? Trying to avoid installing each one every time I need to use it.

    There is a way that involves moving one folder to a new location prior to the install. I have done it, but I can't recall the exact sequence to write it out for you.

    I tried making a new HP Tuners Beta file and installing there but it still overwrites on install.

    You must be running a very old version of the public release.

    2.24 and 2.25 can be installed at the same time with no issues.

    I've had no luck with today's version of 2.24 and 2.25.

    The beta overwrites 2.24 and trying to reinstall 2.24, the installer tells me to uninstall the newer version (2.25) then closes.

    Edit: Windows 8.1 if it matters.

    This is the result I was having, as well.

    I'm not able to uninstall the current beta (downloaded 4/9/14 9PM EST).

    Using Add/Remove Programs only removes the name listed in Add/Remove. The application folder and executable are still in C:\Program Files(x86)\HP Tuners\. If I try to install 2.24 I get a newer version already exists and the installer exits. Re-installing the beta will return the application name in the Add/Remove Programs.

    Using Win7 pro 64bit
