TouchVersioníng

Touchway of versioning the app

#Install Experimental / non latest version without overwritting official installer:
TouchDesigner099.xxxx.xxxxx.64-Bit.exe /extract "C:\Program Files\Derivative\TouchDesigner099_EXPERIMENTAL"

# Archiving Previous Versions:
after installing the stable version,  copy the whole install
to a new directory `C:\Program Files\Derivative\TouchDesigner099_STABLE`

Then install the experimental version, and then copy the whole  directory
to  `C:\Program Files\Derivative\TouchDesigner099_EXPERIMENTAL`.


#How to use multiple versions of TD on your computer:

after installing the stable version,  copy the whole install (so the whole directory `C:\Program Files\Derivative\TouchDesigner099` to a new directory `C:\Program Files\Derivative\TouchDesigner099_STABLE`.
Then install the experimental version, and then copy the whole  directory `C:\Program Files\Derivative\TouchDesigner099` to  `C:\Program Files\Derivative\TouchDesigner099_EXPERIMENTAL`.

#Then create shortcuts to each TD version on your desktop.
%appData%
Then in Explorer go to `C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo` and copy your two new TD desktop shortcuts here. I rename them to start with an underscore, so they appear in the top of your Send To: contextmenu.

So now you can rightclick any .toe file and say Send To: TD Experimental, or Send To: TD Stable. (edited)
