Install Multiple BrightAuthor Versions on Windows

To install multiple BrightAuthor versions on your computer:

After installing BrightAuthor, copy the BrightAuthor folder from the default directory to your desktop or any other folder on your computer and rename it to match the BrightAuthor version (for example "3.8.0.27").
- BrightAuthor config files in Windows 7 are in C:\Program Files (x86)\BrightSign\BrightAuthor
Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and uninstall BrightAuthor.
Install a different BrightAuthor version in the same location (C:\Program Files (x86)\BrightSign\BrightAuthor). You can repeat this process indefinitely and install as many BrightAuthor versions as needed.

Example

Image 1 below shows a custom "BA" folder with numerous sub-folders that contain different BrightAuthor versions.
