Hello!

How do I use different PS5 Versions on Windows XP.

I use 5.0.1.37, 5.0.4.4, 5.0.4.46 and tried to use 5.0.5.8.
Not every Versions works Sad.

Please do not ask why, I need it and I want to do it!

Ciao,

Peter alias

Hi Peter,

I hope that at least 5.0.5.8 is working for you.
I wouldn't bother to get the others working. The only one I have left (I
lie, but it is the only one I sometimes need to do a path union, end,
exclusive or subtract. This does it good, while 5.0.5.8 sometimes messes
it up. And when 5.0.5.8 doesn't want something to do - I forgot what at
the moment) is 5.0.5.7.

Hmm, I read your message more carefully back, and see that you can't use
5.0.5.8...
Now I am not sure when PGS started to use 'C:\Documents and
Settings\{username}\Application Data\PageStream5\' for PageStream5.ini
(my guess is 5.0.4.32) and not 'PageStream\UserPrefs'.

Is that what makes your PGS work or not?

Theo
