installing two different version of DS client
Hi,
I have been working on DS 7 server installed on a Windows OS machine. I now have Parallel extender server of version 7.5 installed on a UNIX box.
1. I believe i need a DS client of 7.5 to access the parallel extender server. Am I right?
2. Is there any way of having both the verions of the client on the same desktop. I am having issues of one version overwriting DLL (vmdsobj.dll)of the other?
Thanks.
Even thought the Job Type and OS info given are Server and Windows; this post is also about parallel and UNIX OS, too

Exactly.
Install the client to two different directories but suggest you keep only one set of icons on the desktop. The MCM will switch those icons back and forth between the two versions as only one can be 'active' at any given time.

Of course, that's the part that 'takes some time'. Just wanted to point out that - if you have the standard shortcuts on your desktop - it will automagically switch the properties of those for you to point to the currently active client version.
