Mixing Robot studio versions

Laro88

I have a general problem using the ABB Robotics software - hopefully someone at ABB can clarify some issues.

I sometimes need to jump between various RobotStudio versions ( Actually only the .dll's that are beeing used from .NET) on a physical machine - and this is not working without reinstalling RS ( and perhaps robotware )

If I have 5.14 installed then I can't use the project prensently linked to 5.14.3070 and vice versa.

This is from the latest "problem"
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Filen eller assemblyen 'ABB.Robotics.Controllers, Version=5.14.204.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1da709b7d1f14b7b' eller en af dens afhA?ngigheder kunne ikke indlA?ses. Den angivne fil blev ikke fundet.
Filnavn: 'ABB.Robotics.Controllers, Version=5.14.204.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1da709b7d1f14b7b'

Is there any way to have a config that allows me to have mixed versions on one machine or is there another setup I should consider - for example creating a new custom dll for each robot studio version...

I am looking for advice on how to accomplish this - is it at all possible? Perhaps the dll's from ABB are bound to a specific robotware in the actual physical controller?

Yours sincerely

Hi Laro.
