I am effectively thinking of having as follows: c:\lazarus (this will be the latest stable release) c:\lazarus-svn (this will be the latest svn update) Is it simply ok to have the above, or is there registry issues to worry about? Lazarus does not use the registry, it uses a directory where it stores its config files. This is called the "primary config path". When you start the IDE pass as command line parameter --pcp=. For example lazarus.exe --pcp=C:\lazarus-svn\config A further question Mattias, if I just run the individual lazarus.exe file in it's corresponding directory, I presume that would also be fine. Although, I appreciate that I would have 2 completely seperate sets of settings.
Without any parameters the settings are saved in %APPDATA%, so any Lazarus would use/overwrite the settings of the other Lazarus. You MUST pass the pcp parameter to all installations if you want different configurations (Note: You can leave out the parameter for one installation which will then use the default location).
