Is there a method to install beta versions



Hi Andrés,

The most easy way (I always use it) for WINDOWS is:

1. download installer.exe oder .zip
2. Unzip installer.exe or .zip with an installer
   (Do NOT run installer.exe)
3. Launch your installed SeaMonkey
4. Menu ˋTools → Change User Profile → Admministrate Profiles →
   Create New User Profile with Name "TestProfile" →
   Change to "TestProfile"ˊ
5. Create a batch file "SeaMonkeyTest.bat" which looks like
     CD C:\<path of your text version seamonkey.exe>
     seamonkey.exe -ProfileManager
6. Double click "SeaMonkeyTest.bat"
   » batch will launch your test version with derivation
     to Profile Manager, where you should select "TestProfile"

My experience is that the launch of you normal SeaMonkey also will launch via Profile Manager after you have tested you Beta version (so that you can switch back to your default User Profile), but to be sure, you can create a second batch file for your normal SeaMonkey installation.

Tests with Beta will not be 100% independent from your installed SeaMonkey, some WIN settings (Registry) might still have some control for the test version. If you want to be 100 % sure you will indeed need to use a VM. But this solution is VERY easy to do ...
