REW 5.19 and 5.20 Beta on the same computer

[Cristianolo]

Hello.
Is there a way to keep both versions on the same computer?
Even installing in different folders, when installing a Beta version, 5.19 stops working.

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException occurred during startup

It is possible, but a little tricky since they share the same preference settings. The error you are seeing occurs when the 5.20 version has a graph Y axis selection that is outside the range 5.19 knows about, since there were few graph Y axis options in 5.19. If you open 5.20 and choose the first entry in the list of Y axis options for the graphs that offer a choice (the first is usually SPL) before closing 5.20 then 5.19 should open OK.

do this?

and then close REW
right?
didnt work
i tried to save the file with other name too before close 5.20

You also need to do that on other graphs offering a choice, Distortion for example.

Now its working!

Hello,

old thread but I have exactly the same issue since I installed 5.20 beta today besides my 5.19.
Already tried
- uninstalling both
- doing the above selection on each selectable window
...still the same error when trying to start 5.19

Can I delete these preferences in windows registry? If yes, what is the registry path?

The process above works to allow V5.19 to start, but you can remove preferences by starting V5.20 and selecting Delete preferences and shut down from the Preferences menu. The registry location for preferences is in the help, but using the menu entry is simpler.
