RE: [Eap-list] Two Instances of IDEA

[Mike Aizatsky]

John,   IDEA doesn’t support two instances to be running from one installation folder. Please install a second copy of IDEA and use it.   Best regards, Mike Aizatsky. ------------------------------ IntelliJ Software, "Develop with pleasure!" http://www.intellij.com   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of John Pickler Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 11:56 PM To: List, IntelliJ EAP Subject: [Eap-list] Two Instances of IDEA   Build# 606, Win 2000, JDK 1.3.1_02   I've had multiple exceptions (in current and prior 60x builds) related to running multiple instances of IDEA at the same time, which didn't seem to happen in 2.5.1 and before.... 1) The second instance of IDEA will indicate that all VCS operations are disabled (this is expected) 2) If one instance of IDEA tries to save one of the .xml files in the config/options directory an exception is thrown and an error window pops up.   Should I be able to work just fine with two instances of IDEA running, as long as I've got different projects open in each instance?   Thanks, John Pickler
