Question

Installing same versions of Frame maker on one system (7.0 and 7.2)

I am using Frame maker 7.2 for creating user manuals. The tool we are using for generating OLH is

Web Works Publisher for frame maker 7.0. Currently I have installed FM 7.0 and WWP on virtual machine

while I work directly on FM 7.2 version and only use 7.0 from Virtual machine while creating OLH

This is a very complicated process as I have to copy all my files into the virtual machine folder

and then create Help files.

Can we install both 7.0 and 7.2 version on the same system (not virtual)

so that when I document the manuals on 7.2 fm, I can close the files and open the same file in 7.0

versions to generate help files.

    Yes, you can have multiple versions installed on the same machine. I have one that's running 7.2, 8, and 9... no problems.

    As far as 7 and 7.2 go, if it was me, I'd just go with 7.2. There isn't a difference in the file format, so files can be opened with either version. And 7.2 is more stable, has fewer bugs, and better import/export filters.

    Gopi,

    Assuming that there are no licensing restrictions, yes. I do this regularly myself to support an older version of WWP.
