| Summary | 0008872: Install framework: allow multiple branded versions to run simultaneously | ||||
| Description | For the mambo project (and this can apply to MM in general), it would be desirable for multiple branded versions of MM to be able to run concurrently. This could work, however there are definitely some issues that would have to be resolved: 1. The apps would share the DB. This itself probably isn't an issue, but there might be a problem in the fact that it would mean sharing of some UI related things (mainly nodes). Most likely not an issue. 2. Sharing of configuration in registry (if not Portable install). We probably could give each brand its own Registry location, in the main application it should be rather easy (probably just one constant in sources), some plug-ins might probably just share configuration to make things easier. TBD. 3. Use separate app ids (internally), so that both apps could be started simultaneously. Note that due to the shared DB the performance possibly wouldn't be optimal, on the other hand I guess that hardly anyone would use both apps really simultaneously, we just shouldn't forbid start up of the second instance. | ||||

4. We should test COM server sharing as it could posses issues like with Last.fm I'll open new bug related to Plugin Issues that should be fixed similarly to f_wave and other our plugins. |

Clarification: 2&3 is fixed, 1 is _not_ fixed, since it wasn't considered to be an issue. |

Further IM discussions revealed that 1. actually should be fixed because: a. MM.ini shouldn't be shared. b. MM.DB better wouldn't be shared as well (e.g. because of custom collection icons, etc.) So we should use different sub-folder in appdata\roaming folder for each MM brand. |
