Re: Service Pack 1 available

If I'm not mistaken, If the the seperate install is considered important, I think it has to do with when there are issues , it can be important to see if it's a version related thing or not (not so rare), especially for fresh new updates (risky).  And people can not very realistically uninstall then reinstall, or have a dedicated machine just to see if a given problem is related to a specific version.

But what happens when you install in a sepearate dir, the other install just wont run?, or it wont install at all?

Perhaps there could be a "trick"?

Hi,

thanks for the Service Pack. However I can't stop myself from commenting on this:
 
Side-by-side installation won't be possible anymore with 2015.
Since the SP1 is a full installer, 2015 has to be uninstalled first before it can be applied.

Ahem... Softimage Service Packs have _always_ been full installers and it was always possible to install them side-by-side. It should simply install into Autodesk/Softimage 2015 SP1.

IMO everything else makes it borderline impossible to do a roll out in a production environment. I'm having a hard time understanding why the effort was made to change this installation behaviour at all.
 
We could provide a patch installer that will update in-place.

Yes, please. This is absolutely needed.  

Thanks, Martin

It was announced with the 2015 release. I thought you could update in place though...
