Installaware X4 uninstalls Installaware X3

[Enginerd]

I wanted to give Installaware X4 a try; however, I was very annoyed to discover that
it uninstalled Installaware X3 during the installation. I wanted to have both installed
concurrently, so I could still build projects using my current X3 setup. Not possible.
Is there any reason why both cannot be concurrently installed?
Could you fix that please?

So I downloaded the big full install package, and I selected "Studio" as that is what I
have purchased. The install complained about missing files. I told it to ignore them.
When finished, I found that Installaware X4 did not install miabuild.exe. I need that
as I have scripted up my install build process.

Should I have tried to install "Studio Admin"? It does say that if you have already
purchased Installaware, you should select the version you purchased.
Did I do something wrong somewhere? Is miabuild.exe gone?!?

So I tried to use the Installaware X4 web installer and selected 'Repair', hoping
that would fix the missing files. It then proceeded to loop forever downloading
.Net 4.52, then complaining that "Extraction failed" as there is something wrong
with the download. After downloading it about 8 times in a row with the same
result, I selected Cancel, and it uninstalled Installaware X4. So now I have no
working version of Installaware I can build products with.

So now I'll need to re-download and re-install Installaware X3. And I am
not pleased that should I wish to Installaware X4 and give it a try in the future,
it will mean I will have to uninstall Installaware X3 from my build machine,
leaving my build machine unable to build anything.

I completely removed Installaware X3 and removed Installaware X4. Then I tried one more time with Installaware X4, and it did install properly this time. Strange. I guess having Installaware X3 installed (despite the attempt at an uninstall) screwed up the install of Installaware X4...

Dear Enginerd,

unfortunately different InstallAware versions cannot coexist on the same system ...and I don't believe this will be possible in future.

Sorry!
