    3) Install Mixxx in a versionned directory (either "Mixxx
    $VERSION" or better "Mixxx\$VERSION")

    Pros
    - Let you install and use different versions at the same time
    - no need to worry about files left from earlier version

    Cons
    - have forward and backward compatibility for preference folder
    files (sqlite database) - seems complicated


I think this is the best option for now.

We already maintain backwards / forwards compatibility for the preferences and library SQLite database so user profiles are compatible across versions.

If we install to "Mixxx $VERSION" then the user won't see skins or other resource-path files from previous versions.

And best of all, it's only a few lines of code :).

Ok. I need to check wether it will later be possible for the user to uninstall each version or if there is another type of "conflict".

regards,
