Debug version & Release version on same machine?

Jul 14, 2009 2:11 AM

Hi all

 

I'm new to sdk. I've few questions..

 

I've indesign cs3 realease version in my system. Now I need to install indesign cs3 debug version in the same. Will it make any problem??

or can I install it in different user in the same?

 

will the debug version have all features that release version has? For example, if I develope a script with debug version will it work on realease version and viceversa?

 

many thanks

 

THAMIL

    I'm using CS4 and have the release and debug version installed for both the desktop and server application. They run without any problems under the same user account. (This is on Mac)

     

    The only scripting API I use is javascript, any script you write will run against either the debug or release version. I'm not aware of any unique scripting objects exposed only in the release or debug builds.

    Will it not overwrite in indesign release specific folders or in "c:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Adobe" ?

    Once again I'm using CS4, not sure if CS3 writes user prefs in the same fashion.

     

    Is your concern with user saved preferences?

     

    I'm assumming that the location you referenced is where user preferences will be written for Indesign on a Windows machine. Since user preferences are comprised of things like color settings, font info, scripts, workspace setting etc. As you change any user stored setting via the release or debug builds both apps will write to the same prefs files. So any changes you make to prefs in the Debug version should be honored when the release version is next launched.

     

    There are settings specific to the debug build for tracing and so forth, but I beleive those are limited to the current session and are not saved across sessions.

     

    If your concerned about registration data, that info (on a Mac) is stored in the same Adobe Registration database file but each Adobe app/version has a separate entry.

     

    Hope that helps

     

    Mike
